Obesity is a relapsing disease with 220+ complications, reminds Prof. @carel_leroux Thanks to #MBS & meds like semaglutide/tirzepatide, 20–25% weight loss is now possible. Set clear targets, tailor info, ask about QoL, understand fears. Obesity care means chronic care #IFSO

Obesity is not just a number. Prof. Francesco Rubino & The Lancet Commission call for a clinical diagnosis, not just BMI, to define obesity as a disease where excess fat harms organ function or daily life. A shift that reduces stigma & refocuses care. #RedefineObesity #IFSO

It’s not just surgery — it’s a new way of living. Confidence, energy, movement: rediscovered. Metabolic Bariatric Surgery = a healthier, happier you. No es solo cirugía — es una nueva forma de vivir. Confianza, energía y amor propio: recuperados.

Obesity is more than a number — and so is your health. Metabolic Bariatric Surgery should be based on medical need, not just BMI. We advocate for a personalized, patient-centered approach. #IFSO #BeyondBMI #ObesityCare #BariatricSurgery #PatientFirst #HealthOverNumbers

This survey aims to understand how MBS surgeons and IH team members are using or plan to use Large Language Models (LLMs), as well as to identify perceived benefits, challenges and educational need. The survey will take approx 15–20 minutes to complete: https://t.co/9FwsTj8v7A
