Leading experts call for #obesity to be reclassified as a disease @RCPLondon

According to @drbutsch, telling someone with obesity to just “eat less,” is like telling someone with depression to just “cheer up.” We have to understand and communicate the complexities of weight management. #weightstigma #obsm @CleClinicMD @ObesityAction

Steve Nissen says bariatric surgery can reduce cv mortality by 36%! Greater effect than statins! But we need RCT’s to validate! Time for our nation to invest in such a trial? @NIDDKgov @ObesityWeek @ObesitySociety @asmbs
