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

#Bariatricsurgery “should always be a last resort," says #UCIHealth surgeon Dr. Brian R. Smith, but it's an important option for people with a BMI of 40 or higher who have serious health problems and can't lose weight with diet and lifestyle changes alone. https://t.co/B9xRgQfeyI

Randomly met Jamie Foxx at Intuitive CONNECT 2022! More than just a robotic surgery conference weekend in Miami Beach 👍

RYGB and VSG provide similar benefits for 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease. Literature reporting significant differences between VSG and RYGB in 10-year CVD risk may be a result of residual confounding https://t.co/q6bCn4RdiQ @ASMBS @IfsoSecretariat

March is #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth and #UCIHealth urges those ages 45 and older to begin regular screenings (screenings may need to start earlier for those with a family history). https://t.co/Tq2RhHeLsl #colorectalcancer #cancer #cancerprevention
