A population-based study presented at #Freston18 found that obese patients with #ulcerativecolitis (#UC) were almost 70% more likely to be hospitalized, w/ higher rates of #corticosteroid use, a possible sign of other issues. Full story in @gastroendonews: https://t.co/2LRlC4OvYA
It was fun tweeting at this past weekend’s @AmerGastroAssn #Freston18 conference on #obesity. Hope it was helpful, thanks for the feedback.

Yesterday’s #Freston18 was a great example of #healthy meeting planning done RIGHT ✅ encouraging salads and beautifully prepared veggies at the front of the line 🥗 to fill your plate, with lean proteins 🍗 and rice/noodles 🍚 further down. #nutrition
Thanks to @DrLisaGanjhu @DrRamdhaneyGI @AustinChiangMD @PopovVioleta @KashyapPurna for the fantastic Twitter updates on obesity research & treatment from #Freston18
How to get from here to here... thanks to @AmerGastroAssn and @dr_aac to come up with #power program. Open to @AmerGastroAssn members

Thanks Dr. Andres Acosta for reminding everyone at #Freston18 that @ABEbariatric is a great way of staying up to date with latest endoscopic therapies for obesity.
Glad to be among the first 54 @ObesityMedicine certified gastroenterologists along with @SighPichamol @EricJVargasMD @PopovVioleta @ReemSharaiha! ✅ So important to have a comprehensive understanding of #obesity! #Freston18
Dr. Lee Kaplan: each treatment option for #obesity has people who do better or worse. Key is identifying predictors for what works on who. #Freston18
Dr. Chris Thompson @MetabolicEndo presenting long term results with endoscopic anastomoses via enteral magnets: 15% total #weightloss and 40% excess #weightloss maintained after 3 years. #obesity #Freston18 @AmerGastroAssn #Bariatric #endoscopy
88+ million with class I and II obesity...and only ~228K bariatric surgeries in 2017 in US. ‼️
Need to consider all available therapies (lifestyle, behavioral, surgical, endoscopic, pharmacologic, etc often together) AND barriers to access. #Freston18
There is growing amount of evidence to support the role of duodenum in insulin sensitivity INDEPENDENT of weight loss...and why duodenal exclusion with roux-en-y gastric bypass has such rapid metabolic improvement. #Freston18
Dr. Kimberley Steele: laparoscopic sleeve and roux-en-y gastric bypass are best surgical bets, with comparable weight loss based on SM-BOSS and SLEEVEPASS studies earlier this year from @JAMA_current ! #Freston18
Dr. Rohit Kohli: not enough time during clinic visits to offer lifestyle advice. Pick one at a time #nafld #Nash #obesity #Freston18 @AmerGastroAssn
Upcoming #Nash pharmacotherapy for #Children. Lack of meds and trials to treat adolescent #obesity, however. Dr. Cohli #Freston18 @AmerGastroAssn
Long- term improvements in cardiovascular outcomes with liraglutide. #obesity #Freston18 @AmerGastroAssn
Dr. Scott Kahan: many doctors still do not know how to prescribe medications for #weightloss. Pharmacotherapy increases magnitude AND likelihood of weight loss. #Freston18
Dr. Shelby Sullivan: more contact with the physician improves weight loss outcomes, but docs should remember to congratulate patients on their successes and do not admonish patients on setbacks #Freston18
