@NeilFlochMD Done that, built a solution. Waiting to hear back from you after 5 years of calls, emails and texts.

@DrCLovato After watching that last episode, I was happy and sad at the same time.

@CateVarney @uvahealthnews @OMAsocial @ObesityAction We’d love to partner with you too! E-learning gives patients the opportunity to educate themselves without feeling bias, guilt, shame….even when none of these are, or should be expressed. #obesityisadisease

@Ali_Aminian_MD @WorldObesity Agree but this (stock) image only depicts a small percentage of those that should seek treatment for obesity. There are millions that will see this picture and say, “I’m not him,” then not seek treatment.

We need to normalize the treatment of obesity. #obesityisadisease

Frightening trends for health and economic impacts in 🇺🇸. Normalizing and popularizing the treatment of obesity through surgical and medical intervention is a must! #obesityisadisease

Impact of Obesity and Overweight in #USA ⁦@WorldObesity⁩

[NewTriHealth @NewTriHealth]

Obesity costs the US healthcare system nearly $200 billion a year.

[Eric Velazquez, MD @ericvelazquezmd]

The effects of obesity increase health care costs related to inpatient treatment, outpatient treatment and prescription drugs.

[From the perspective of a simple obesity medicine physician]

🚨Metabolic surgery remains the most effective treatment for obesity.‼��

👉🏻Greater efficacy and durability, better comorbidity management, higher comorbidity remission rates, only treatment with reliable data for ⬇️ in adiposity-related MACE, cirrhosis, ESRD, cancer, and mortality.

What’s more? It’s more cost-effective than newer medical therapies.

Simply, surgery is grossly underutilized. If you know the literature on obesity, this is the only conclusion you can make.

Anyone blaming the development of obesity on the consumption of a single macronutrient category or another singular cause means they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Avoid these people. 🤦🏾‍♀️ #MedTwitter

@ericvelazquezmd CONGRATULATIONS 🎉

[Eric Velazquez, MD @ericvelazquezmd]

Last week I performed my 3000th surgery since training. I feel blessed to have contributed to the betterment of so many lives. I look forward to continue to fulfill my calling.

@farahhusainMD @Ethicon Where is @BetsyDovec_MD ?

[OAC @ObesityAction]

“Eat less and move more” is not the cure for obesity. Obesity is a disease that requires life-long care and a broad range of science-based treatments. It’s time to change the way we care about obesity! #OCW2023

[NewTriHealth @NewTriHealth]

@ObesityAction Bariatric surgery is an amazing tool for people with obesity. It’s not any easy fix, but part of the journey. #obesityisadisease @NewTriHealth

[Ali Aminian @Ali_Aminian_MD]

Bariatric surgery is recommended for individuals with BMI >35, regardless of presence, absence, or severity of comorbidities.

It’s time to normalize and popularize bariatric surgery as the most effective tool in battling obesity!

[Dietitian Katie @dietitiankatie_]

Dear Physicians,

You took an oath to do no harm.

In case you’re not aware, telling someone who has struggled with obesity for decades to “diet & exercise” is DOING HARM.

It’s time to get comfortable talking about Bariatric Surgery.
