Terrific insights from this segment ft. @NeilFlochMD @1490WGCH

👉 #Bariatricsurgery isn’t just surgery. It’s a program. It’s lifestyle AND surgery +/- medication
👉 #Media likes to focus on complications but it’s actually safer than gallbladder removal. And we forget that lack of #obesity treatment is far more dangerous

It's to get better at burning them between sessions.
