It Takes A Village: The Importance of a Team Approach in Tackling Post-Surgery Weight Gain


After bariatric surgery, weight-loss isn’t the end of your journey. Weight management is a lifelong process, and sometimes, weight regain happens. But if it does, you don’t have to tackle it alone!

This empowering session features a panel of renowned physicians in obesity medicine/treatment, including a bariatric surgeon’s and psychologist’s perspective on long-term obesity care – Lloyd Stegemann, MD, FASMBS; Richard Peterson, MD, MPH, FACS; Robert Kushner, MD; and Don McGeary, PhD, ABPP.  In this session, you will see how these healthcare providers address the value in a team approach to post-surgery weight regain.
