In October, clinicians met to discuss innovative solutions to the causes of obesity, preventive strategies, and therapeutic management approaches. See some of the highlights of the 2015 Summit. We hope to see you in 2016!
The most current topics were presented, including
| • |
Science of obesity and gut microbes |
| • |
FDA-approved gastric balloons for obesity and weight loss drugs |
| • |
New technology for obesity management |
| • |
Live surgery transmission |
| • |
Progress of patients 10 years after their surgical procedures |
Here is what our attendees said:
I work in a family practice that serves an economically disadvantaged community that has a high poverty rate – 75-80% children on free and reduced lunch. All of the content was something that I could relate to our patients in our practice.
This was the best conference I have been to! I will definitely attend in future years, and am highly recommending it to colleagues. This is a "can't miss" conference!
Great to have panel of bariatric surgery patients. Also neat to watch some of the laparoscopic surgeries.
