@patsyllamd @SAGES_Updates Works just as nicely before doing a JJ, GJ, DI anastomosis, especially in revisions...@ASMBS

@TraumaDocSF @pferrada1 I do the same! And I am NOT an artist. I keep it basic and the patients love it.
I, too, am a visual learner.

@KizzyPhD You both look stunning! Love the love. Both of you with beauty and brains!? Amazing.

@ASMBS @Michigan @DGlaucomflecken @PriorityHealth @Cigna @Cignaquestions Let's use our voices to get healthcare for ALL! #MedTwitter @ASMBS @ASMBSIH #LGBTQIA

[Tuesday Cook, MD, FACS, FASMBS, DABOM @TuesdayCookMD]

@Priorityhealth of Michigan is discriminating against my patient because she is #transgender She can't get her gender-affirming surgery while she has obesity, they are denying her weight loss surgery despite her having coverage & meeting criteriaDenying since March @aclu_michigan

[Tuesday Cook, MD, FACS, FASMBS, DABOM @TuesdayCookMD]

@ASMBS @Michigan @DGlaucomflecken please help amplify. @PriorityHealth of Michigan, @Cigna & @Cignaquestions is blatantly discriminating against the #LGBTQ community. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Working on this for almost a year and we won't give up.

Just another week in weight management. @BCBSIL pulling coverage for Saxenda from my patient because in 4 months she didn’t lose >4% of excess weight. AOM’s are also used for weight maintenance friends. Will they pull statin coverage if LDL rises too? 🙄 #prevention #MedTwitter

[Tuesday Cook, MD, FACS, FASMBS, DABOM @TuesdayCookMD]

Let's offer as many patients as possible the metabolic surgical treatment they need using these new and data-driven guidelines! Forget the outdated NIH Consensus Statement of 1991. THIS is what insurance companies should be implementing. @ASMBS @IfsoSecretariat
