@SOARDJC Seems to me mesenteric closure of J-J should be mandatory in either AC or RC and Petersen in RC. #hsugerman1

For this company promoting health care, why do you PUSH sugar at checkout when we have this epidemic of severe obesity and diabetes.

@SOARDJC Has anyone else seen this catastrophe using a balloon in a SG patient?#harveysugerman

[Harvey Sugerman @hsugerman1]

@SOARDJC @RPetersonMD @asmbs This Case Report is clearly a warning NOT to use a gastric balloon in a post SG (or RYGB) patient. #hsugerman1

[Harvey Sugerman @hsugerman1]

@RPetersonMD @SOARDJC I worry about all of the SGs that will need conversion in future to ? RYGB or ?DS.@hsugerman1

[Harvey Sugerman @hsugerman1]

@SOARDJC These data are impressive. But others haven't been as good. Why? #32 bougie? #soardjc

[Harvey Sugerman @hsugerman1]

@RPetersonMD @SOARDJC These data are certainly impressive; however, other studies haven't been as positive. Why? 32Fr bougie? #soardjc

[Harvey Sugerman @hsugerman1]

@SOARDJC Schauer, your thoughts?

[Harvey Sugerman @hsugerman1]

@SOARDJC Dr. Himpens, Cadire, what do you think?

[Harvey Sugerman @hsugerman1]

@SOARDJC Ramzi, how long after SG? Weight loss?. Size of sleeve? Outcome? Should we use Actigal in SG?

[Harvey Sugerman @hsugerman1]

@soardjc. Nice procedure. How long after SG? What was weight loss? Was the sleeve very large permitting cyst-gastrostomy? Current status?

[Harvey Sugerman @hsugerman1]

Thanks to everyone who participated in this SOARD Journal Club. #soardjc

[Harvey Sugerman @hsugerman1]

This has been a great new SOARD Journal Club. ? What to do with all future failed SGs? RYGB vs. DS or SADI.

[Harvey Sugerman @hsugerman1]

@SOARDJC Dr. Martin, what about Himpens comments re. GERD developing in 3+ yrs?

[Harvey Sugerman @hsugerman1]

Saxenda 3mg/d costs $3214/mo, $13K/y. Almost cost of 1 RYGB or SG. Also only 5-8% WL compared to 30% w surgery #SOARDJC

[Harvey Sugerman @hsugerman1]

It would be nice to have more discussion for our Journal Club. Perhaps some of us need to get more up to speed with Twitter. #SOARDJC

@SOARDJC How does this study relate to recent FDA approval of Saxenda (liraglutide) for T2DM? Cost drug vs. surgery? Long-term>

How does this study relate to recent FDA approval of Saxenda (liraglutide) for T2DM, rDNA of GLP-1? Cost of drug vs. surgery
