Thanking the fantastic outgoing @easo president Jason Halfod EASO_President

An excellent joint session by EASO IFSO-EC at #ECO24 in Venice. Very interactive panel discussion & fantastic patient representation. Congratulations on this massive success(>3000 delegates!). Honor to be invited & discuss issue: #MedicalTourism EASO_President Susie B

With media coverage & social media posts from #ECO2024 attendees, its timely to highlight a recent comment in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology on terminology ('weight loss jabs', 'anti-obesity medications') used for #obesity pharmacotherapy. Keen to hear your thoughts!

Dr Grace O'Malley speaking on ' obesity surgery tourism at #ECO2024 . 'We need a list of requirements and centres for our GPs to advise patients on surgery abroad, but many people bypass their GP and book surgery abroad on line.'

Our Susie B talking about how words Matter. 'Patients respond or don't respond to treatment, its not success or failure'

Type 2 Diabetes remission induced by dietary modification or metabolic surgery suggests that T2D is a adiposity based disease due to ectopic fat deposition.

Could Ectopic fat also underlie other complications of Obesity?
