Bariatric surgery *dramatically* reduces the risk of getting cancer (32%) and dying of cancer (48%). This is NOT a cosmetic procedure ~ it is LIFE SAVING ~ and should be covered by all insurance companies without restriction! ASMBS #BariatricSurgery jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Congrats, well deserved

Great advice from ASMBS President Shanu Kothari : We NEED TO STOP using a 31 year old guideline to decide who qualifies for obesity treatment! #ASMBS2022 #BariatricSurgery ASMBS

Strong data by Ali Aminian that supports Bariatric Surgery decreases the risk of cancer and cancer-related mortality. ASMBS #ASMBS22

A doubly great day indeed! Big congratulations to rising chiefs Aimee Zhang and Matthew Byler for matching into MIS fellowship! Aimee will be going to The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center Surgery Dept. and Matt will be staying with UVA Surgery for another year! Superstars! SAGES is in Tampa in 2026!

A resident in a procedural specialty contacted me b/c her program doesn’t carry her glove size (5.5). We need to support/advocate for trainees to make sure they get proper sized equipment! Many may not speak up b/c they don’t want to be a “bother”. Surgical Ergonomics @SurgErgoGroup

Enjoyed the opportunity to discuss combining surgical and medical approaches for treatment of patients with severe #obesity at the ASMBS 2022 annual meeting in Dallas. The Obesity Society OAC Ted Kyle #ASMBS22

Congratulations

10-year follow-up of the SLEEVEPASS RCT: both sleeve and gastric bypass resulted in good #weightloss. Reflux was more prevalent after sleeve. The incidence of #Barrettesophagus was much lower than in previous trials, and similar after both procedures. ja.ma/3n6m5Oo

Lack of info in a crisis = vacuum and bad things happen. Excessive communication so important. Mark Hertling on what changes in leadership during a crisis. Such important info as the crises abound! #WIMStrongerTogether

HUGE congratulations to UVA Surgery resident Katie Marsh, MD MPH for being chosen to be on the ACGME Board of Directors! What an accomplishment and so well-deserved! #HoosUVASurgery #girlmedtwitter #ILookLikeASurgeon

@Kyle__Boone CBS Sports College Basketball 🏀 Here is a different angle not shown on TV. It’s a clean block. Not sure why there’s a controversy.

There’s 10 administrators for every 1 doctor - instead of asking us to do better (and make no mistake, we are already operating at super-human levels…), considering investing in the doctors, and nurses, and clinical support staff. 👏🏻 Carter Lebares, MD, FACS, MAMSE Sandhya Kumar #ACSLAS23

Interesting new research in JAMA Surgery titled "Comparative Safety of Robotic-Assisted vs Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy" - authors report higher rate of serious BDI in robot vs lap chole (0.4% vs 0.2%, after adjusting for possible group differences). A look beyond the abstract...
