@NeilFlochMD Truer words cannot be said. Maybe someday they could address the psychological aspects involved with obesity as well. Addiction runs very strong in families. My brother chose drugs, I chose food. Same addiction…different drug of choice.

@mcnee Wow. I see the same pain that was in my eyes. I feel every bit of it...remembering the feeling of being in an inescapable prison. We are so lucky to have gotten a second chance. Congrats!

Be sure to include weight in all #bullyingprevention programs! Kids are teased more about their weight than anything else. And it can be physically and psychologically harmful. #stopweightbias https://t.co/F4MSGl1YJT

Like cancer. We deal with a chronic and progressive illness. Still, surgery remains the best option available https://t.co/Q4Pu7KcMzr

@PsychoDietitian @AmirGhaferi @EckhouseMD @AskDr_Rachel @obsmchat Preach it 🙌🏻 #wls patients are NOT surgical failures. If someone's cancer or heart disease returns are they surgical failures? No. #obsm

@obsmchat Would “any available” be a bad answer?

The "Eat less, move more mentality does little to help manage and prevent obesity. Here's why: https://t.co/1hj8BQjK9G

@ZaherToumi @Gillian_RD @obsmuk @BDA_Obesity @ObesityAction Personally, I'm ok with "severe." Not as thrilled with "complex" because in my mind, all obesity is complex. But "morbid" needs to go!

[OAC @ObesityAction]

@ibrake4ants Absolutely! Dialogue is an important starting point. Take a look at our guidelines for People-first language here: https://t.co/WHU01lserx

[OAC @ObesityAction]

Words can produce serious consequences. Let's work together to erase the term "morbid obesity." https://t.co/1KloPntp4v #EndWeightBias
