Beyond Race: Social Vulnerability and Access to Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery - Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases soard.org/article/S1550-…

Reunited with UChicago Surgery bariatric team in San Diego at #ASMBS2024 Vivek Prachand Vanessa Buie MD MBA Kayla (Polcari) Councell, MD, MPH

HUGE congratulations to THREE 🤯 of our soon-to-be chief residents on an INCREDIBLE CGSO Match! 🎉🎉 Ryan Morgan headed to MD Anderson Cancer Center! Dr. Jelani Williams going to THE Ohio State Wexner Medical Center Surgery Dept.! Dr. Hunter Witmer going to the Big Apple for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center! We are so proud! 🥺👏

Thrilled to share our recent work with many thanks to my mentor Yalini Vigneswaran - Eligible patients from socially vulnerable communities experience greater pre-op MBS attrition and are disproportionately burdened with insurance-mandated medical weight management requirements.

Learned a ton at #ASMBS2024 and grateful for the opportunity to represent UChicago Surgery & discuss complex bariatric care
