Proud to share our work. Important note: GLP-1s and metabolic surgery aren’t competitors—they’re complementary tools along a treatment continuum for a chronic, relapsing disease. The field isn’t shrinking. It’s evolving.

Proud to share our work on semaglutide/tirzepatide pre bariatric surgery this week at @AmCollSurgeons @stefrohde @OhioStateSurg facs.org/media-center/p…
