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

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

A landmark in how @IfsoSecretariat sees obesity treatments today
IFSO has officially changed its name to: International Federation for the Surgery and Other Therapies for Obesity (IFSO) This change reflects our recognition that obesity is a complex, chronic disease requiring a comprehensive, multimodal approach. #IFSO #OBESITY
