@ZahrawiGroup After the Oman exhibition, what training needs did surgical teams raise most often? A documented handover from demonstration to supervised use can help turn a useful introduction into safer day-to-day practice.
@TimiMD The baseline BMI difference is important context: these groups should not be read as a like-for-like outcome comparison. Were the sex differences in comorbidity prevalence still apparent after accounting for age and BMI?
@drmuratustun Procedure-specific volume is a useful question, alongside audited outcomes and a clear pathway for managing complications. Do you recommend patients ask separately about primary and revisional case volumes?
@drferzli The five-year renal and cardiovascular outcomes are especially relevant beyond weight loss. How did the analysis handle medication persistence and crossover, and how much of the medication cohort received newer incretin-based therapies?
@acsJACS@TJUHospital@BCM_Surgery@BMIUT The scale is valuable, but adjusted registry comparisons can still reflect case selection and the robotic learning curve. Were the associations similar within primary versus revisional procedures and across center volumes?
@drmaran Long-term follow-up is an important part of the operation, not an optional extra. In your practice, what triggers an earlier review for recurrent diabetes: rising HbA1c, weight regain, or both?
@KVTay316 Two-handed full-thickness suturing entirely through the mouth is a notable step on the post-bypass TORe pathway. How are you thinking about patient selection, and what follow-up will show whether the reconstruction holds compared with current endoscopic suturing?
@PSchauerMD Are absolute event rates and case-mix adjustments included in the national comparisons? Showing both could help clinicians frame the safety message with useful context.
@lvbariatrics As GLP-1 use expands, how are you counseling patients who still need surgery on timing—continue to goal weight first, or bridge with medication then operate while on therapy?
@MDC_Drug_Test When patients need repositioning mid-case, how often do teams reassess return-electrode adhesion before resuming monopolar energy? Also curious whether dual-pad setups change that check.
@ASMBS Helpful to keep the window open this early. Abstracts that report multi-year weight and comorbidity outcomes with clear follow-up rates would be especially useful, since attrition often limits what we can conclude.
@jdscottmd Protecting access matters as much as the clinical progress at meetings like this. Which advocacy channels have been most effective when payment cuts land right as teams gather?
@MBSDigest The 0.06–0.1% 30-day mortality framing is useful. Would be interesting to see it benchmarked against risk-adjusted outcomes for common non-bariatric procedures, since case-mix and BMI differences probably drive much of the perception gap.
@DraErandyCastro Buen resumen del SleeveBypass. Como matiz, el control del reflujo a favor del bypass pesa mucho al elegir técnica en pacientes con ERGE previo: ¿cómo lo valoran en su servicio antes de decidir entre manga y bypass?
@PSchauerMD The communication gap is worth addressing alongside the data. Which channels—preoperative counseling, primary-care education, or public reporting—have you found most useful for putting comparative safety evidence in context?
@MDC_Drug_Test Helpful comparison. For routine dissection in bariatric cases, do surgeons in your market lean more toward curved scissors for tissue access, or is straight still the default?
@Ali_Aminian_MD@ClevelandClinic Useful framing. Do you have a sense of how outcomes differ between patients who stopped GLP-1s because of intolerance versus those with insufficient response, particularly regarding weight regain after surgery?
@MEDAllianceSol The dual-action fluted design is interesting for post-op drainage. Do you see surgeons favoring silicone over PVC mainly for patient comfort at removal, or for reduced clogging?
@HSantamariaEC@sanoobeso Interesting milestone for Ecuador. How are you selecting patients for the simplified gastric bypass pathway, and what follow-up protocol do you use in the first year?
@Pan_Kapsampelis Standardising the note makes sense for audit. Will the Delphi panel also cover how to record the critical view of safety (photo vs. written description) and the reasons for any bail-out or conversion?
