How does bariatric surgery affect insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes⁉️ Our latest research reveals a substantial rate of complete remission, especially following BPD/DS‼️ Even in those who did not achieve full remission, insulin usage decreased significantly 📉 Mayo Clinic Department of Surgery

Using Pre-Operative Insulin Dose to Predict Diabetes Remission after RYGB vs SG: 🔷 Lower insulin doses = higher diabetes remission post-surgery 🔷 Remission rates: 73% vs 34% (low vs high insulin dose) 🔷 RYGB > SG: for mid-range insulin doses #PrecisionMedicine Omar M Ghanem

📗📘📕 For patients who suffer from #MALS & physicians & surgeons who treat it Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome State of the Art Management Honored to partner on this with the distinguished Drs. Danny Shouhed & Kevin El-Hayek. Thanks to all authors! Available for preorder 😇

To advance personalized medicine, we show in our multi-center study that patients with T2D microvascular complications achieve nearly 3x T2D remission with RYGB vs SG (OR: 2.95). No significant difference in T2D remission between procedures in patients without vascular diseases.

Very happy to have contributed (ever so slightly 🤏🏻) to the #MALS literature by co-authoring one of the chapters! 📚 Huge congrats to Dr. Omar M Ghanem for this incredible achievement! 👏🏻

Honored to become Professor of Surgery at the world’s top hospital 🏥 Grateful to family, mentors & colleagues. Special thanks to Mayo Clinic for looking beyond my humble pedigree & believing in the surgeon and human I am. This mindset & leadership are what make Mayo, Mayo!

The blessing of being at an institution that does NOT have RVU targets for surgeons has several advantages 1- Only taking the patient that definitely needs surgery to OR 2- No need to rush any operation (pt advantage) 3- Taking the time needed to teach Mayo Clinic Department of Surgery 🩵

So excited for you!! 👏🏻
