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…

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.

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.
