Taking a keen interest in Monomax launch in the UK @asgbi .
Youngest (Erin) came home buzzing today having met @SorchaEastwood in ‘real life’ representing @harmonyhillps so brilliantly in the school council.
Thanks everyone for making her feel so special.
We are very proud of them both here in Lagan Valley Lisburn - GREAT role model.
Kinda done with the toxic crap that gets fed by an algorithm here - suggest you move to Bluesky.

Shift from monitoring weight loss to improvement in #obesity related complications, QoL and life expectancy as #obesitysurgery success measures.
Phenomenal talk by @AlexanderMiras at #AUGIS2024 on current trends and future of research in #metabolic and #BariatricSurgery – at Manchester, England
One to repost and bookmark for all surgeons.
I might be @ethicon trained but we all bow down to @rbarbosa91 as the captain of insight and suture based real world investigations into 'but can it hold a melon ?' .Delightful. @JNJMedTechUKI

We must address the root causes of #obesity #stigma Obesity is a NOT a self-inflicted lifestyle behaviour driven by a lack of personal responsibility for health. Weight/Obesity is not a behaviour. @WorldObesity @EASOobesity @Bias_180 @ECPObesity @ICPObesity
Despite efforts to reframe #obesity as a chronic disease, #stigma persists.
Is it time to rebrand obesity?

Together we need to tackle this regional healthcare inequality NOW.
We are the last country in the westernised world WITHOUT an obesity service. The science & evidence is clear; Intervention + prevention = cost savings. @mikenesbittni
