Thanks #SAGES2022, Monique Hassan, MD, MBA, FACS, FASMBS, DABOM Matthew Kroh, MD Farah Husain MD, FACS, FASMBS Omar M Ghanem SAGES is in Tampa in 2026! Marina Kurian, MD You inspired me to join the twitter universe. Each conference I try to bring something home from sages for the kiddos. Last time was an teddy bear with an ostomy.

7 cases today. Hoping for fast turnovers and a good/safe anesthesiologist/OR crew. Interesting how the team dynamic and not the surgeon/patient can influence the day.

Is laparoscopic bariatric surgery as safe and effective before and after age 60? Results from a propensity-score analysis #soard22 #bariatricsurgery #obesity #wls ASMBS #vsg #rny soard.org/article/S1550-…

Happy to say I’m board certified in Metabolic/Bariatric surgery with American Board of Surgery. Glad I’m not kicked out for failing ASMBS. I encourage all to take the exam moving us forward. SAGES is in Tampa in 2026! Neil Floch MD. Congrats Jaime Ponce MD Samer Mattar (ann Rogers) and all for this initiative

Busy week, 15 cases done mostly by my fellow with their fastest handsewn rygb at 1 hr 33 mins (cut time). Also taught a supramesocolic technique. Feels like forever to get them trained to this point but worth it!! Amy Kim Yetasook MD Jaime Ponce MD SAGES is in Tampa in 2026! Omar M Ghanem ASMBS

I dropped a bowl of my daughter’s Life cereal. She then said “ugh, my life is ruined.” She just turned 4 years old.
