10th Annual Bariatric Symposium: A Roadmap for Successful Weight Loss

This continuing medical education activity will explore the different paths that a bariatric patient can take - whether it be surgery, medication, diet, or exercise (or a combination), and what to do if one of those “fail.”  Content will include how care providers can ensure a successful bariatric procedure and what to do when a patient regains weight and needs a revision procedure. Lectures will also explore alternative options to surgery, help care providers understand obesity as a disease, and what roles providers play in the care of a bariatric patient.  The main theme of this year’s course will be the different paths to success for bariatric patients. This CME activity will address the challenges of patients who regain weight after a bariatric procedure, understanding obesity as a disease, medications available for treatment, and how to ensure a successful surgery the first time. These challenges will be addressed through lectures from care providers as well as a patient panel, allowing participants to hear from experts in the field and patients who have been on these paths. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions to each speaker as well as patients apart of our panel. This will allow patients to address specific gaps in knowledge they may have to expand their understanding of the field and how to provide better care.
