@MichaelAlbertMD @BevTchangMD @DrKarlNadolsky @DrNadolsky @NeilFlochMD @DrAngelaFitch @TheLancet @BariatricTimes @BariatricNews @rvcohen Our data of over 400 patients with BMI > 70: ✴️ 40% weight loss after gastric bypass. ✴️ 30% weight loss after gastric sleeve. ✴️ Durability up to 10 years after bariatric surgery is impressive. ✴️ These people have extremely limited options to help them lose weight.
