29th Annual Meeting of The American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery
I always learn a lot at this meeting! Weight loss surgeons come from all over the world to learn about the newest techniques. Some interesting papers were presented about sleeve gastrectomy, lap band, gastric plication, and gastric bypass.
A lot of attention was given to the recent STAMPEDE study out of the Cleveland Clinic, showing that surgery beat best medical therapy for the treatment of diabetes.
