I have NOT known the members of the Bellevue program but I find it “suspicious reporting” to accuse a Medicaid Hospital of “profiteering” that has taken the responsibility of caring for the most indigent patients in need of help. After having a practice that was 50% Medicaid I can attest that this insurance has the lowest reimbursement and is NOT profitable.

It appears that the program directors have figured out how to provide a life-saving service to a very high volume of patients in a safe, effective, and efficient manner. After reading the article in the @nytimes - I am impressed with what the @BellevueHosp team has achieved and as we can see they and their patients have cause for celebration.

Bias and discrimination as well as alternative motivations are the likely cause for the writing of this article.

It focuses on the negatives of running a high volume bariatric program where the time spent with patients must be limited in order to provide enough service to all the patients that needed.

The numbers in volume of cases and the results reported are outstanding and admirable. Shame on the @nytimes and those “powers that be” who have likely influenced its production.

HOW many times in the last few months have I been asked "how are these drugs affecting your practice?" Yay! Let's keep ⬆⬆⬆ AWARENESS of treatment options for this chronic, metabolic disease

[Jaime Ponce MD @JaimePonceMD]

Is Metabolic Surgery Having an Identity Crisis?
• The answer is “no.”
• Anti-obesity Meds (AOMs) are very effective now (>20% WL)
• Head-to-head studies AOM vs Surgery have not yet been conducted
• Response to AOMs treatment varies:
- With DM can have less response (10%WL)
- With morbid obesity may not be enough
- Adherence long-term may be challenging (cost, etc.)
• SG and RYGB have robust data on efficacy and safety long-term
• Treatment of obesity is not a one-size-fits-all (multi-modal options are needed)
• Surgery remains the most effective and durable anti-obesity intervention
• Surgery still widely underutilized despite large body of evidence (long-term efficacy and safety)

Beautiful #run #sunset @AskDr_Rachel #fall weather- can't wait 🧡

[Montana Ross @travel_run_lift]

Man I still think this heart rate training stuff is for the birds. 13 minute miles and my Garmin tells me that’s “tempo” pace. I’ve got news for you watch…that’s nowhere near my real tempo pace. It needs to be fall like tomorrow.

At least we still get pretty sunsets. #runchat

Unfortunately true @eatfitrun "People like something tangible when it comes to health. It’s often easier to take a pill than invest in behavior, diet, and lifestyle change,”

Haha .. not sure it's the best use of resources ☎️ ⏰, we need to do a thorough analysis 👀 like you!

[Melissa Majumdar, MS, RD, CSOWM, LDN @eatfitrun]

@surgery_RD The double call! 🙌

[Liz Goldenberg RDN @surgery_RD]

Great to see your results @eatfitrun ! Our NPs & PA call postop day#3, I call day#7. Our SAR has improved🙂

[Melissa Majumdar, MS, RD, CSOWM, LDN @eatfitrun]

Could a postoperative phone call☎️reduce ED visits 🏥? It's helped for us, partly by focusing more attention 🔦on tracking and identifying our most common post-op challenges for our #bariatricsurgery patients. #mbsaqip #emorysurgery #qualityimprovement

Good stuff.... & meal texture should have a more powerful impact following #bariatricsurgery https://t.co/TirKQci5Cb

[Beverly G. Tchang, MD @BevTchangMD]

This is one factor that was not controlled for in @KevinH_PhD ‘s ultra processed #food study
Nicely done!

[Liz Goldenberg RDN @surgery_RD]

@Eggface Important clarification. Disclaimer: I rarely work with people with cancer (sorry to hear about your mom) but you may want to look into "Mary Ruth's". They also will accept returns for any reason.

[Liz Goldenberg RDN @surgery_RD]

@Eggface The feedback I get on liquid supplts: $$, messy, inconvenient, & either extra calories or contain artificial sweeteners

[Beverly G. Tchang, MD @BevTchangMD]

I am so proud of our @alpanashukla 's students who published in @FrontiersIn on #weightloss with #telemedicine during COVID:
No significant differences found between in-person, hybrid, and video cohorts, with median weight losses of 4.3, 5.6, and 5.8%
