Higher “out-of-pocket” $$$ translates in lower utilization of #BariatricSurgery insurance benefits. Another barrier to access the use of the best therapy for patients suffering from severe obesity that is only performed in 1% of the potential candidates @AnnalsofSurgery @ASMBS

“The question of how we manage appendicitis... has really emerged over time” -David R. Flum, MD, University of Washington School of Medicine.

There was a time when treatment of appendicitis was a settled issue. Those days are over. #ACSCC19 #ACSHighlights https://t.co/l8vAPAmQme

Obesity exacerbates many causes of death, but risks are different for men and women: Obesity causes a higher risk of type 2 diabetes in women, and COPD and chronic kidney disease in men https://t.co/Y30mZ8XgFi

Sugar in sodas vs juices - Your body can’t use all that sugar & will store the excess as fat.

A better choice is whole fruit because the fiber will slow the absorption so the body can use it more efficiently.
