This is episode 5 of 6 from our program: Obesity in GI Care: Start the Conversation, Change the Narrative. Over the course of 6 podcast episodes and 3 webinars, you’ll learn a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating obesity, with a specific focus on patients with GI comorbidities. This series highlights key findings and strategies from AGA’s 2017 Practice guide on Obesity and Weight management, Education and Resources (POWER program). In this episode, our host Dr. Andres Acosta is joined by Dr. John Magaña Morton to discuss: • Evaluating patient outcomes and measuring weight loss success in terms of reduced disease burden. • How to adapt treatment plans when interventions are unsuccessful. • The future of obesity care in gastroenterology.
