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

Brandi had bariatric surgery 3 years ago. She’s lost 130+ lbs, beat diabetes, did a triathlon in 8 months, and stepped on a bodybuilding stage. More than weight loss—it’s about health, confidence, and showing up for life. #BariatricSurgery #Transformation #IFSO

Millions of people living with obesity lack access to effective, long-term care. Stigma, inequalities, and barriers block treatment. Metabolic Bariatric Surgery can help bridge that gap and is a proven tool for lasting results. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege!

For the first time in history, more children are living with obesity than underweight. 🚨 New @UNICEF report shows: 🔹 391M children w/ overweight 🔹 163M living w/ obesity 🔹 81% of burden in LMICs This is not inevitable. Policies must change food environments. 🔗

Men often wait too long to seek help — but their health can’t wait. Metabolic Bariatric Surgery offers life-changing benefits: weight loss, more energy, better control of diabetes & hypertension. At IFSO, we say: take action, not chances. Strength is choosing health

🌍✨ Evolution of IFSO ✨🌍 2007, Porto: Prof. Jan Willem Greve adds “metabolic disorders” to IFSO's name. 2025, Santiago: Prof. @rvcohen adds “other therapies”. A milestone recognizing obesity as a metabolic disease needing multimodal care. #Obesity #IFSO #Evolution

❤️ Obesity drives heart disease. 🩺 1.9M cardiovascular deaths in 2021 were linked to high BMI. 👩👩👦 Obesity has doubled in women & tripled in men since 1990. It's clear that addressing obesity is key to protecting hearts. 🔗 https://t.co/eeXdte3Dgl

COVID-19 reminded us: obesity is not just a number, it’s a serious risk factor. Higher risks, severe illness, complications. Science is clear: obesity is a chronic disease. #IFSO advocates evidence-based care and early treatment.

Bariatric Surgery not only is very safe but also improves quality of life … thank you Amy for sharing your story to the world 🌎 @ASMBS @ASMBSIH
For this patient, obesity was more than a number on the scale, it was affecting mental health, mobility, and quality of life. Surgery changed everything: climbing stairs with ease; traveling without fear of airplanes; enjoying shopping again. New opportunities are on the horizon
