Honored to join the Board of Fractyl Health at such a pivotal moment. Revita® is advancing through late-stage development, and Rejuva® is preparing for first-in-human studies. Fractyl is redefining how we treat obesity and type 2 diabetes by addressing root causes, not just symptoms. Excited to help shape this next chapter.

@FLGastroSociety meeting, great presentations and labs! It was nice reconnecting with my colleagues and meeting the new GI fellows and teaching them about the field of bariatric endoscopy! @bariendo @MetabolicEndo

Handling a scope for the first time in my life and successfully performing suturing at the FGS Annual Meeting @FLGastroSociety , all thanks to the incredible Dr. @AliAbbasMD ! 🙌
His guidance and unique teaching style in such a short time was truly exceptional. This moment will definitely take part of my personal statement!

[Ali Abbas, MD, MPH @AliAbbasMD]

@AbuassiMoe @FLGastroSociety Glad you liked it! Best of luck in GI fellowship application 🙏

Grateful to @JAMANetwork

Very nice demonstration of Axios stent exchange with safety wire great job @AliZakaria_MD

[Ali Zakaria, M.D. @AliZakaria_MD]

EUS-GJ is more frequently performed for GOO. Follow-up and stent size upgrade/exchange is an area to be further explored
This is a video describing a step-by-step approach on GJ stent exchange

I am jealous of your future fellows, unlike me, I had to go to the OR, not once but two times! fluoro upgrade and COVID!!! I want a redo of my fellowship 🤣

LOR written in 2012 Dr.Balart (his soul rest in peace), it is beyond me to express my gratitude to this man, he was the first person who believed in me as a FMG after migrating to the USA, It is humbling how a single person can have a profound impact on your life @AmCollegeGastro

[Ali Abbas, MD, MPH @AliAbbasMD]

@AliZakaria_MD @PushpakTaunk @TGHCares @ASGEendoscopy @FITE_endoscopy @EndoscopyNow Very nicely done! This technique utilise the double channel scope to change the Axios safely to avoid issues with gj stenosis, losing access or theoretical risk of dehiscence, as u can see partial coating deterioration after 6 months is expected

[Ali Abbas, MD, MPH @AliAbbasMD]

@DrDShaikh @AliZakaria_MD @PushpakTaunk @TGHCares @ASGEendoscopy @FITE_endoscopy @EndoscopyNow These stents even with the coverage are not designed to last for more than few months for cystgastro, I recommend elective change of EUSGJ in 6-12 months if the pt survival is expected to be >12 m
