SPLENDID 10-yr study comparing 5,053 #MetabolicSurgery pts vs 25,265 Non-surgical cohort… 32% decrease risk of developing obesity-associated cancer over a 10-year period following metabolic surgery (no difference in SG (2.9%) vs RYGB (2.9%)!!! Great study Ali Aminian ASMBS

A patient lost near 80 lbs with #Mounjaro in 8 months. With current weight of 265 lbs (BMI 45) and still having severe #obesity, patient will undergo #BariatricSurgery (gastric bypass) in the next few days to help her losing more weight.

Interestingly, the 2nd patient (285 lbs), who will have #BariatricSurgery (gastric bypass) on the same day, did not lose any weight with #Wegovy & #Mounjaro. Response to #obesity treatment is not uniform & we should consider all evidence-based options to help our patients.

It the difference of giving someone additional satiety hormone with medication vs. changing biochemistry so they make more of that hormone themselves with surgery. Both are helpful but surgery is more powerful! #PCP #Endocrinology #obesity #weightloss #BariatricSurgeons #ASMBS

Intensive lifestyle behavior therapy with these components has been tried in multiple studies. There were thoughts by many of the investigators if the therapies were intense enough,it would work. But none worked for severe obesity. Hormones are more powerful than IBT.Raj Misra
