Dr. Kasey Goodpaster

Here’s some light weekend reading for you 😉 This beast of a paper on Preoperative Optimization is out now! I’m delighted that psychosocial optimization is well-represented in this @ASMBS position statement. @ASMBSIH @SOARD_JOURNAL #obsm authors.elsevier.com/a/1dtVx5Wc4sUh…

Awesome CCF BMI representation as always! 👏 #ASMBS2023

Phenomenal presentation on self-compassion by my talented colleague Dr. Emily Fink. Self-compassion is a protective factor against emotional eating, helps pts get back on track after slips, and can also help us as providers avoid burnout 🧘‍♀️💗 #ASMBS2023

MBS patients who were using marijuana at least weekly post-op had ⬆️ anxiety, binge eating, night eating, graze eating, and eating in response to depression. Thank you @lisa_matero for doing research on this hot topic! #ASMBS2023

@PsychoDietitian @LeslieHeinberg I sure am! 😆 I haven’t seen you yet… are you coming??

@DrGoodpaster @LeslieHeinberg Kasey! Are you at the meeting?? Vegas again! Reminds me of this time…. 💃 😜 #asmbs2023

Thank you, @LeslieHeinberg for doing all the legwork of researching these psychological testing measures! Measures that include validity/response style scales are particularly useful in this population. #ASMBS2023

Loved hearing the revision patient perspective from @amberhuett. She reminded us & the “biggest threat to care is bias” and “don’t assume it’s a knowledge gap” when pts experience weight reoccurrence. Therapy is so helpful in helping pts to overcome internal barriers. #ASMBS2023

Beth Czerwony Rd talking about nutritional considerations for pts w/ weight reoccurrence. When pts are already struggling w/ adherence after their index surgery, make sure those issues (especially vitamins!) are being addressed, & also help identify non-scale goals. #ASMBS2023

Dr. Karen Grothe had many pearls of wisdom when giving the psychological perspective on weight reoccurrence. It’s vital to have a non-judgemental stance so pts feel comfortable coming in for help: “The time you least want to see us is the time we most want to see you.” #ASMBS2023

Rachel Tran shared that approximately half of bariatric pts are taking psychotropic meds. Depression & psychotropic med use are both risk factors for obesity. Men on psychotropics lost less weight after surgery than those not on these meds. #ASMBS2023

Dr. Gail Kerver sharing about high rates of objective overeating episodes, particularly past 8pm, among pre-surgical bariatric patients. This is an important area of education and treatment even if pts are not meeting full criteria for binge eating disorder. #ASMBS2023

Pre-op bariatric pt:"I learned so much about my health through this process.Learning I had OSA &getting a CPAP changed my life. I thank your team for that"👏 ➡️One of the benefits of the pre-op process is the thorough multidisciplinary work-up that pts may not have had otherwise.

A patient in my binge eating group shared this song and I love it so much. We need to look at harmful media & corporate influences in the development of poor body image with a critical eye, and learn to reject those messages. #bodyimage #eatingdisorders youtube.com/watch?v=W7FbyU…

Another successful & memorable #BariatricSurgery meeting by our incredible Cleveland Clinic team. #ASMBS22 #ASMBS2022

The outstanding ⁦@ClevelandClinic⁩ team in Dallas for the ⁦@ASMBS⁩ annual meeting. #ASMBS2022 ⁦@matthew_kroh⁩ ⁦@Ali_Aminian_MD⁩ ⁦@Rickesha_W_MD⁩ ⁦@LeslieHeinberg⁩ ⁦@DrGoodpaster⁩ ⁦@barajas_gamboa⁩

Dr. Gretchen Ames gave excellent, concrete suggestions for managing challenging behaviors when facilitating support groups. #asmbs2022

Helpful and engaging talk by @beth_czerwony sharing her experience co-hosting virtual support groups with Dr. Nini Peterson at @ClevelandClinic. They call it “food for thought.” Beth (the RD) is the food, and Nini (the psychologist) is the thought 😁🍎💭 #asmbs2022

@AshleighPonaPhD Thank you for coming, @AshleighPonaPhD! So good to see you! 😊

@DrGoodpaster Thank you for organizing this session! I value the opportunity to meet & consult with other professionals in our field.

We had a great turnout and a lively discussion at the Behavioral Health Networking session today! I always treasure this opportunity to connect with colleagues and put our heads together about hot topics in the field. #asmbs2022

The @ClevelandClinic is so well-represented at #asmbs2022! Kudos to the whole BMI team for their important research and engaging presentations!

Very informative talk by @DrGoodpaster on clinical considerations of cannabis use in bariatric surgery. More research & discussion is needed in this area to provide the best care for our patients. Thank you for presenting & sharing this information! #asmbs2022

@drdavidcreel @ASMBS I’m glad to hear I was “clearing the air” and not “blowing smoke” 😁

⁦@DrGoodpaster⁩ doing a great job clearing the air about the risks of marijuana use @asmbs annual meeting.
