This estimate is too low. Actually, more than 200 comorbid conditions have been improved or resolved following metabolic surgery. @IfsoSecretariat @asmbs @NeilFlochMD @Jmortonmd @jdscottmd @ColleenKennedyD @Ali_Aminian_MD @metabolic_knife @mattars77 @matthew_kroh @JaimePonceMD @PaulinaSalminen @marinakurian

METABOLIC BARIATRIC SURGERY improves more than 40 obesity-related diseases and conditions. Treating obesity means caring for the whole body.

Metabolic Bariatric Surgery's Safety Problem: A Messaging Opportunity, Not Just a Clinical One. The problem is the PERCEPTION of safety. National data indicates MBS safer than MOST abdominal surgery including gallbladder surgery, hernia, hysterectomy, appendectomy, hiatal hernia BUT also extends life! mbs-digest.com/p/editorial-me… @shanu_kothari @mattars77 @JerryDangMD @TeresaLamasters @NeilFlochMD @JaimePonceMD @metabolic_knife @Ali_Aminian_MD

The point is, why wait? You’ll never get long-term remission with medical therapy. Why deny a patient the opportunity?

@PSchauerMD @AmDiabetesAssn @ADA_DiabetesPro @TheAACE The duration gradient (75% at 1–4.9 yrs vs 36% at 10+) is a strong case for earlier referral, with the caveat that it's observational within the randomized arms. Could C-peptide or insulin start help endocrinologists flag who is running out of time?
