Is Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Really Safe and Effective?
For this episode, we dive into one of the most common questions surrounding weight management. Bariatric surgery can be a game-changer for many, but there are a lot of misconceptions and questions. Let’s address them all.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Kyle Thompson, a bariatric and foregut surgeon at St. Joe's Hospital in Denver. With a general surgery residency at St. Joe’s and a fellowship in minimally invasive and bariatric surgery from the Minnesota Institute for Minimally Invasive Surgery, Dr. Thompson brings years of expertise in the field. He’s also the chair of Surgical Subspecialties at St. Joe’s and serves on the boards of the Denver Academy of Surgery and the Colorado Obesity Society.
Dr. Thompson explains the safety and benefits of bariatric surgery, highlighting how it’s not only a proven weight loss option but also an effective solution for managing conditions like diabetes, sleep apnea, and heart disease. He covers the most common surgeries like the Sleeve, Gastric Bypass, and SADI, and why bariatric surgery can provide long-term results.
Along with addressing common concerns, Dr. Thompson combats the stigma around obesity treatment and underscores the importance of treating obesity as healthcare, not a shortcut. He also emphasizes the value of finding the right support before and after surgery to ensure lasting success.
For more expert insights from Dr. Thompson, be sure to listen to the full episode and get a deeper understanding of bariatric surgery and its benefits.
