🥇So proud of my UCLA Santa Monica team!
Last week, we performed the 1st Duodenal Mucosal Resurfacing (DMR) procedure in California
(for Type 2 Diabetes => REVITALIZE-1 study)
Great to be surrounded by an enthusiastic, inquisitive team who want to make the world better!

Busy few days bouncing from #DDW2026 to #ASMBS2026 where I had the honor to discuss Duodenal Dysfunction/Metabolic Duodenopathy and Metabolic Endoscopy to a packed surgical audience.
The data generated so far is exciting & eye opening! Thank you to the ASMBS for the opportunity.

A special thanks to my patient for helping to spread awareness about the TORe and other bariatric endoscopy procedures.
Still so many patients who come to me saying, "I wish I had known about this sooner!"
Many gastric bypass patients who regain weight are mystified, frustrated and plagued by feelings of failure. Bren, @UCLAHealth patient, shares her journey including how an endoscopic revision procedure (TORe) by @AdarshThakerMD helped jump start her weight loss to meet her goals.

Great discussion at #SCSG today about updates in #colorectalcancer and #screening with @samirguptaGI!
Nice to see everyone in beautiful So Cal!
@raman_muthusamy @esrailian #postDDW – at Laguna Niguel, CA
Absolute powerhouse duo of @drfolamay and @samirguptaGI discussing the latest updates on colon cancer screening and prevention! We are lucky to have these 2 🌟💫 as part of our S. Cal GI community! #SCSG #postDDWmtg @UCLAHealth @esrailian @AmerGastroAssn @AmCollegeGastro
Agreed! Was surprised to see the perfs until reading that both occurred when using the "against the scope" method of avulsing tissue when the snare couldn't snip through.
Stalled resection can happen when too much tissue is grabbed. Takeaway point is: don't get too greedy.
@MSawhneyMD @tberzin important practice-changing study adding evidence for p CSP in the duodenum. Surprised to see intraprocedural perforations even with the CSP
Congrats to this stellar graduating class!!
These superstars are officially #UCLAGI fellowship alumni & we couldn't be more proud!
☘️Lucky to have @elliec_md & @VivyCmd join @DOM_UCLA faculty & Christopher Paiji as our advanced endoscopy trainee
🙌Best 2 @JessHaragaMD Rahul Kamath Jessica Su @NNajafianMD on your endeavors
Was great to chat with the esteemed Dr. Haugen, who has an important role at the FDA with regards to #ScopeInnovation and innovation in endoscopy in general.
In the debut episode of our new Inside Scope podcast series: Innovation in Duodenoscope Design, Dr. Shani Haugen from @US_FDA joins co-host @AThakerMD for a conversation about the FDAs post-market surveillance of #duodenoscopes.

🧬🎉 Today, at #ASGCT2023, we presented groundbreaking preclinical results from our Rejuva® program, a gene tx platform for #T2D & obesity. The wonder of gene tx is that it opens the door to one-and-done treatments for diseases once thought to be chronic. @FractylHealth 1/8
