Early obstruction after gastric bypass? A new systematic review describes 29 clot-related JJ obstructions, usually within 72 hours. Rare, but worth remembering when obstruction and bleeding coexist. Evidence is retrospective. link.springer.com/article/10…

In an 88,689-case TriNetX analysis, 29% of sleeve-associated portomesenteric thromboses were diagnosed after week 4; a 30-day window misses part of the burden. Anticoagulant data were unavailable. Disclosure: Dr. Schauer is a coauthor. MBS Digest Vol. 2, Issue 15. Link in reply.

A patient with obesity does not arrive as a surgical problem or a medication problem. MBS Digest is changing its name to match: it is now the Metabolic and Bariatric Sciences Digest. Same MBS, same weekly briefing, a wider view of the evidence.

Philip Schauer, MD retweeted
MBS Digest has a new full name: the Metabolic and Bariatric Sciences Digest. The initials, the weekly briefing and the editorial board stay the same. Surgery remains central; the name now covers the full range of obesity care our readers work in.

Weight recurrence deserves a careful revision discussion, not an automatic trip back to the OR. ASMBS is highlighting its Weekend session, ‘Just One More Hand: Weight Recurrence Revisions.’ Education, not a new outcomes study. xitter.cf/ASMBS/status/211040105…

Approximately 1 in 4 active-duty male U.S. Army personnel may have a morning testosterone measurement below a commonly used clinical threshold, according to new research from Pennington Biomedical Research Center published this week in JAMA. The findings provide estimates of low testosterone screening results across the active-duty Army population and offer insight into the potential implications of routine testosterone screening for military personnel.

But, prevalence of Extreme Obesity (BMI >60) is increasing at alarming rate! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4028… Obesity meds have only been tested for mean BMI 34.

"Hindsight being 20/20, I would have surgery again." Most respondents said so, but 56% of the unsure or unwilling cited weight recurrence, and only 15% of invitees answered. MBS Digest Vol. 2, Issue 14 also covers GLP-1 agonists after regain and staged SADI-S. Link in reply.

@elonmusk could humanoid robots one day surpass expert surgeons in complex surgery?
As IFSO President, I would be honored to invite you—or a representative from Tesla or SpaceX—to keynote our World Congress in Paris on August 27, 2027, at 10:30 a.m. before more than 5,000 experienced laparoscopic and robotic surgeons from around the world.
Your energy, creativity and vision could inspire the future of surgical care. We would love to explore that future with you. May I send your team a formal invitation?
