GLP1 substantially reduce the popularity of #bariatricsurgery at least for now but surgery will continue to have a role when less than 50% of patients respond with similar results
Dr Terry Simpson@drterrysimpson

Retatrutide has substantial side effects at higher doses with high drop out rates at those doses. It does Not make bariatric surgery obsolete - still a roll for surgery. It is just another tool in the arsenal - not yet approved and this study not yet peer reviewed

Thank you, Dr. Queen! Patients in LA need access to effective obesity treatment! @LAObesity @metabolic_knife @PBRCNews @DonnaRyanMD @DrJohnKirwan @la_surgeon @LaHCHeadlines @LSUHealthNO @DianeTate @amandastaiano @katiebqueen

When you show up to testify to support a bill, and before you can fill out the green card, and Secretary of Health Bruce Greenstein and Medicaid Director Seth Gold beat you to the punch. One step closer to obesity medicine coverage for Medicaid patients with obesity. #SB433

"I have obesity myself and have experienced the benefits of the effective treatment for it. I have developed a passion for sharing this and treating others so they can have the same experience that I have had, and they can lead healthier, happier lives. " #ObesityMedicine

Agree! Given that only 10-15% of people with clinical obesity get any evidence based treatment, it’s great we now have effective medical and surgical options. The next challenge is to figure out who should begin with surgery or medical treatment. Many may need both.
Neil Floch MD@NeilFlochMD

Accurate and succinct: the role of bariatric surgery is explained and must be included in the comprehensive treatment of obesity - additionally - surgery and medications do not overlap in effectiveness they are additive!

As a bariatric surgeon, here is my clinical reality check to colleagues who think surgery is facing obsolescence. 1/ Sustainability & Compliance: Obesity is a lifelong chronic disease. Retatrutide’s impressive ~24% weight loss is strictly treatment-dependent. Expecting patients to adhere to weekly injections for 30-40 years is clinically unrealistic. Surgery offers a permanent metabolic reset. 2/ The Economic Barrier: The lifelong cost of next-gen multi-agonists is prohibitive. No healthcare system (NHS or private insurance) can financially sustain funding these high-cost medications indefinitely for millions of patients. 3/ The Inevitable Regain: Data (like the STEP-1 withdrawal trials) proves that once these medications are stopped, the metabolic brake is lifted. Rapid weight regain is nearly inevitable. Unless the drug is taken forever, the "Yo-Yo" effect returns with a vengeance. 4/ The Shadow of Long-Term Safety: We must remember Sibutramine—once a "miracle" drug, later pulled due to CV risks. While triple-agonists look promising, we lack 15-20 year safety data. Assuming zero long-term multisystemic side effects is a premature gamble. 5/ The Gold Standard: Bariatric surgery remains the most cost-effective, durable treatment for severe obesity, backed by decades of data. One day, science might completely replace surgery with a pill. But looking at the clinical and financial realities of today: That day is not today! @NeilFlochMD @PSchauerMD @ASMBS @IfsoSecretariat

What’s the evidence of clinical benefit of the robot for a 30 min procedure? And what is the additional cost? Adding cost and no benefit? Times have changed.
Vance L. Albaugh, MD, PhD, DABOM, DABS-FPMBS@metabolic_knife

@jdimick1 Sigh…poor use of resources indeed… I once had a surgeon tell me that you have to use the robot for EVERY CASE or else you will be accused of not offering your patients the “best”. That same surgeon also had been paid >$1 million by a company that makes a surgical robot.
