Obesity Medicine 2026 - Navigating the Surgical Pathway in Obesity Care (Recorded)

Metabolic/bariatric surgery (MBS) can be an essential component of comprehensive obesity care, and clinicians play a pivotal role in helping patients understand when surgery may be appropriate. This session will review how and when to introduce and discuss surgery early with patients. The session will explore complex case scenarios and discuss the proper preoperative evaluation and optimization of complex patients to assess the potential risks and benefits of MBS. Cases will include the management of obesity medications in pre-, peri-, and postoperative scenarios. Participants will leave with practical strategies for integrating MBS into ongoing obesity treatment and strengthening collaborative care pathways.
