Access to obesity services is severely restricted across England.

Over 1/3 of areas have restricted or no access to tier 3 services, while 1/5 have no bariatric surgery service.

UK doctors are calling for a national public awareness campaign to inform people of the risks of going overseas for weight loss surgery. Ahmed Ahmed, BOMSS Secretary, has spoken with @bmj_latest on this important issue - https://t.co/AXTMglwiv4

How effective is bariatric surgery compared with medical/lifestyle management for long-term control of type 2 diabetes?

Watch this and learn the answer: https://t.co/ySGZW7Os5K

[Andrew Currie @CurrieSurgery]

@MarkCheetham Agreed. The move from central NHSE to local commissioning no doubt contributes to the variation. A small study we did in this area: https://t.co/xWLJuidkDG

@MarkCheetham Very true - both prevention and treatment are key like all long term conditions. Some good studies in this area: https://t.co/P2XN4cdomQ https://t.co/6MTwUTUBYi

@OMGhanemMD Nice paper - makes a strong argument against RYGB as a therapy of last resort - but how to make it a more visible choice for people living with T2 diabetes and obesity who are in primary care or in diabetes clinics? @parthaskar @kamleshkhunti

@kamleshkhunti @ProfBatterhamMD @ADA_DiabetesPro @AmarPut @AbdTahrani @ABCDiab @EASDelearning @AskDrShashank @docwas @AliRacaniere @profmjdavies @LDC_tweets @ArodaMd A very good review. Worth noting that @bariatricBOMSS NHS data shows patients receive bariatric surgery for their obesity and T2D at late stage in the disease course - major access to evidence-based care issue!
