Proud to present our Top 10 paper “Cost-effectiveness of Weight loss medications and surgery” ⁦ASMBS 40th annual meeting ⁩ #obesity ⁦Yale School of Medicine⁩ ⁦Yale Surgery⁩ ⁦Yale New Haven Hosp⁩

An honor, privilege and pleasure to introduce ⁦Dr Eric DeMaria⁩ as 2024 ⁦ASMBS⁩ TREO Lifetime Achievement Awardee along with Georgeanne Mallory- well deserved for the Walter J Pories Professor & ⁦ECU⁩ Chair of Surgery who has helped me & so many others

It is time to think of a new paradigm for treating #obesity mainly because we have all tools at our disposal- counseling, medications, surgery- #challenge will be scale and integration-need evidence based guidelines to help navigate and #metabolic centers to provide

Standing room only for Scott Sussman’s presentation on disclosure after #adverse event ⁦Yale Surgery⁩ ⁦Yale Anesthesiology⁩ combined grand rounds- important skill for important topic ⁦Yale School of Medicine⁩ ⁦Yale New Haven Hosp⁩ ⁦Yale University⁩

Night fever too but only Saturdays

Well reasoned and said- lots of noise for a small study- too early to draw any conclusions and always need to balance risk and benefit- reminds me of the early days of bariatric surgery when any mention received significant media attention

Giants - they will be missed

Congratulations!

Nice-Eat more rhubarb!

A new review on obesity The Lancet thelancet.com/journals/lance… Ildiko Lingvay Priya Sumithran

Great review- shows how complex and pervasive #obesity is on the human condition but gives hope with a tiered therapeutic approach including medication and surgery- maybe similar to another complex disease #cancer which also requires multi- modality approach

Glad to see our 2014 China initiative continue/ 3rd Ed of asmbs textbook in mandarin!

Great news- Covid’s 2 biggest risk factors are age and weight- can’t change our age but can change our weight- similar findings and improved findings with bariatric surgery jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…

RIP - a giant and tremendous advocate for surgeons- amazing life-involved all his career-we won’t see his kind again

Congratulations! Can’t think of better leadership at this or any time- felicitaciones!
