Just heard from the video conference that the reason #diabetes was not included in this list is because "it is a disease in its own right" - Alexander Kokkinos, MD PhD @TheLancetEndo

Agree @KevinH_PhD We also need clinical trials for #obesity treatments
There is an urgent need to sufficiently fund the necessary infrastructure and staff to conduct human nutrition and metabolism studies to quickly elucidate root causes and mechanisms of diet-related chronic diseases!

What can I say- “OG”
Tell me you're full professor without telling me you're full professor @Jmortonmd #PowerPointOG #bluebackgroundyellowfont 🙃 All kidding aside, I'm looking forward to @jmortonmd 's upcoming publication on cost effectiveness of #bariatricsurgery vs anti #obesity #medicine 👉 Bariatric surgery is the most cost effective 👉 Assuming 90% adherence (a high bar but possible according to RCTs), AOMs are cost-effective when priced at $310 or less per month #ASMBSCT25

Thank you @SenatorCarper @SenBillCassidy you both have been champions of treating patients with obesity before it was cool! Much appreciated!!@ASMBS @ObesityAction @OMAsocial @ObesitySociety @Amgen @Boehringer @novonordiskus @novonordisk @LillyMedical @EliLillyandCo
. @SenBillCassidy & I have long pushed @CMSGov to expand coverage of anti-obesity medications for Medicare recipients through #TROA. @POTUS’s new proposed rule is welcome news & a game-changer for millions of Americans. We stand ready to provide bipartisan support in Congress.
