Bariatric patients deserve expert follow-up.
After bariatric surgery, ongoing care isn’t optional—it’s essential. These patients have unique needs that require a bariatrician or bariatric surgeon for safe, effective, and guideline-directed management.
Unfortunately, many telehealth “weight loss” clinics miss the mark. Too often, I see mismanagement that could have been avoided with the right expertise.
👉 If you care for a patient who’s had bariatric surgery, please help them get the specialized follow-up they need.
At @accomplishHLTH, every provider is bariatric-educated and trained. We’re here to partner with you—and to support patients on their long-term journey to health.

🚨 NEW STUDY: Obesity’s true burden goes far beyond blood sugar and blood pressure.
---
Our Research group led by @yao_zhiqi @MichaelJBlaha@CiccaroneCenter
---
📊 Over 320,000 participants from the @NIH All of Us Research Program show that obesity—especially Class III—cripples quality of life, daily functioning, and well-being.
Here’s what we found: ⤵️
🔹 Class III obesity (BMI ≥ 40) vs. normal weight:
• 3.8x more likely to report fair/poor health
• 3.9x more likely to report severe pain
• 3.3x more likely to have severe fatigue
• 3.1x more likely to be severely limited in physical activity
• 2.8x higher risk of fibromyalgia
• 1.5x higher risk of insomnia
• 2.2x higher risk of chronic pain syndrome
These aren't just comorbidities. These are disabling conditions.
📉 Even “overweight” and Class I obesity were associated with declines in:
🔸Energy
🔸Sleep
🔸Physical function
🔸Self-rated health
And the effects were stronger in women.
💡 Obesity is not just a cardiometabolic disease—it’s a functional and quality-of-life disorder.
🧠 The consequences?
Pain, fatigue, insomnia, inactivity—feeding a cycle of worsening health.
Yet insurance and payers often deny access to treatment unless diabetes or CVD is present. This study shows that the policy is outdated.
🔥 If we only treat obesity when A1c rises or CAD develops, we’ve already failed.
We must advocate for:
✅ Broader access to obesity treatment
✅ Recognition of functional burden
✅ Patient-centered metrics like fatigue, pain, and QoL
✅ Health equity—because Class III obesity disproportionately affects women, Black and Hispanic patients, and lower-income groups

🧬 NEW STUDY: Obesity’s Massive Health Impact--from my research group, led by the brilliant @yao_zhiqi.
- - -
🚨 In a nationwide study of 270,000+ adults using the All of Us Research Program, obesity was linked to a higher risk of 16 health conditions—with risk increasing by obesity severity (BMI ≥30).
📊 Top Takeaways
• 42.4% of U.S. adults have obesity; 9.8% have class III (BMI ≥40)
• Class III obesity was linked to:
🔹 11x higher risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
🔹 7.7x higher risk of Type 2 Diabetes
🔹 6.7x higher risk of Fatty Liver Disease
🔹 3.5x higher risk of Heart Failure
❤️🩹 51.5% of Obstructive Sleep Apnea cases in the population could be attributed to obesity. Similar trends were seen for T2D, gout, and fatty liver disease (MASLD).
💊 As anti-obesity medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide reshape treatment, understanding obesity’s full burden is crucial for prevention and policy.
🔍 This is one of the largest and most diverse obesity studies ever conducted in the U.S., reinforcing obesity as a root cause—not just a risk factor.

💡Can people with obesity reach a “normal” weight through diet & lifestyle alone?
A massive UK study of 177,000+ adults says… not easily.
📉 Over 9 years (no surgery involved):
For those with class 1 obesity (BMI 30–34.9):
🔹Men: 1 in 210 reached normal weight
🔹Women: 1 in 124
For severe obesity (BMI 40–44.9):
🔹Men: 1 in 1290
🔹Women: 1 in 677
⚖️ A 5% weight loss was more common (1 in 7–8/year) — but most regained it within 2–5 years.
🧠 Takeaway:
Community-based weight loss efforts often aren’t enough. We need better tools, access to effective treatments (meds & surgery), and bold public health action.

✨ Why Does Weight Loss Stall? The Science Behind Plateaus✨
🚨 You’re eating healthy, moving more, maybe even taking a GLP-1 medication like Wegovy or Zepbound… but suddenly, the scale won’t budge. What gives?!
🔬 New research shows that different weight-loss approaches hit plateaus at different times—because your body has built-in defenses trying to maintain weight! Here’s how they compare:
🥗 Dieting alone → Your body fights back fast, ramping up appetite and slowing metabolism. 🚫🥄
💉 GLP-1 meds (Wegovy, Zepbound, etc.) → They weaken this fight-back response, letting weight loss continue longer. ⏳💊
🩺 Bariatric surgery → The strongest effect, making lasting changes to weight regulation. 🔥
💡 What this means for you: Hitting a plateau isn’t failure—it’s science! Understanding your body’s natural weight controls can help you stay on track with the right tools and expectations. 💪✨
Study: https://t.co/VUYV9TLbRn
It’s not enough to understand how to treat type 2 diabetes. While many experts know the optimal approaches, few know how to operationalize them effectively. How do you design a business model that incorporates intensive behavioral therapy, ensures weekly check-ins, equips patients with practical tools, and simplifies the approval process for the most effective treatments? Few clinics have solved this puzzle, so real-world outcomes often fall short of those seen in clinical trials (where these services are paid for).
We built @accomplishHLTH by creating a business model that supports the ideal clinical approach. Far too often, the clinic supports the business, resulting in a lack of critical infrastructure and clinical processes.
