 | #obsm chat @obsmchat Welcome to the #obsm chat. Tonight we're discussing treating T2 diabetes with surgery, including the evidence and reasons why physicians and the public remain reluctant to use bariatric surgery as a diabetes treatment. Thanks to Dr. Neil Floch for our blog and chat questions. |

| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD Q1 I am more agrees I’ve in offering #bariatricsurgery #wls to patients with #diabetes and #obesity because of the dramatic benefits of losing weight with #surgery bs losing weight medically #Obsm @obsmchat |
 | iamabariatricpatient @JeanineMSherman @obsmchat Hello everyone. My name Jeanine, I am a patient advocate from Michigan. Looking forward to chatting this evening. #obsm @ProCare_Health #iamabariatricpatient |
| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD RT @bruce_y_lee: @DrTerriC #obsm sometimes the best advocates are the unintentional ones |
| GeekyGrouch @grouchy_geek @obsmchat A1-Had T2D for 5+ years, pre-diabetic b/4 that. 430+ lbs at heaviest. Had sleeve 4 years ago. 200 lbs down. T2D (and HBP & sleep apnea) gone. #obsm |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat @DrGoodpaster @ClevelandClinic Happy to see you Kasey! #obsm |
| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD RT @JeanineMSherman: @obsmchat Hello everyone. My name Jeanine, I am a patient advocate from Michigan. Looking forward to chatting this evening. #obsm @ProCare_Health #iamabariatricpatient |
| Paul Davidson, PhD @PaulDavidsonPhD I treat hundreds of patients with #diabetes as part of our #bariatricsurgery program. I also have T2D myself. It is part of the reason I am so passionate about helping others with the disease. #obsm |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat @maureen_busby So glad you're here to contribute! #obsm |
 | Dr. Kasey Goodpaster @DrGoodpaster T2DM is one of the biggest motivators for surgery my patients cite, & it’s incredible to see their goals of decreasing/eliminating meds met as soon as the day of surgery! The quality of life improvements associated with better T2DM control are incredible. #obsm |
 | Ali Aminian @Ali_Aminian_MD @obsmchat Ali Aminian Bariatric Surgeon at Cleveland Clinic #obsm |
| Mary L @Macskakat7 @obsmchat #obsm My husband was insulin dependent -- left hospital after sleeve on no medication. A1C is still good 8 years later despite some regain. |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat @txkyleharris That's great Kyle! #obsm |
| Lab is my happy place @profbdcohen @obsmchat A1: This is a tricky one- I was very fortunate that I had not yet developed T2DM when I had my #WLS #RNY. However, my mother passed from #T2DM complications that led to several amputations and sepsis. #obsm |

 | Go Hawks @DMBariatrics @obsmchat Hello from the Heartland! I’m Steve Cahalan, a Bariatric surgeon at UnityPoint Clinic in WDM #obsm |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp A1: I feel very strongly that if I didn’t have the #VSG I would have had a ONE WAY ticket to diabetes. Cholesterol and BP were high only matter of time. Grateful! #obsm |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat @DrLipartia Glad you could join! We're just on the first question. #obsm |
| Dr Theresa Cullen @DrTerriC @DrGoodpaster I was pre-diabetic and even though I have experienced regain I am not on metformin again. #obsm I do know others that have had to return to medication though. |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @profbdcohen @obsmchat So sorry for your loss. #obsm |
| Paul Davidson, PhD @PaulDavidsonPhD So many of our patients have avoided #bariatricsurgery until their health, including #diabetes has deteriorated. It's exciting to watch their reaction as their health improves and T2D goes into remission. Few things feel better. #obsm |

| Dr. Kasey Goodpaster @DrGoodpaster ⬇️ Research shows that diabetes improvement or remission can remain even with weight regain. That’s one reason this is not simply a “weight loss surgery;” it’s a metabolic surgery. #obsm |
| Ali Aminian @Ali_Aminian_MD @txkyleharris @obsmchat That was a good timing for surgery. Sooner the better: surgery for prediabetes better than surgery for diabetes. Surgery for mild diabetes better than for severe diabetes. #obsm |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat @melaniepeppin @obsm @nutracelle Canada is in the house! Thanks for joining! #obsm |
| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD Q1 - #weightlosssurgery is actually a #Metabolicsurgery as it alters the metabolism by changing blood levels of gut hormones such as #glp1 which stimulates the production of #insulin by the pancreas #obsm @obsmchat |

| Dr. Kasey Goodpaster @DrGoodpaster @DrTerriC Yes it does happen. Patients who undergo surgery earlier in the diabetes course seem to have better luck with long-term remission. #obsm |
| Dr Theresa Cullen @DrTerriC @maureen_busby @obsmchat The PCOS was a battle I had from teenage on.. I tried to convince doctors to consider it, It was not until I was 30 that a doctor really acknowledged it. I felt heard and that was the start of my wls surgery journey. #pcos #obsm |

 | Karen Errichetti, DrPH | THE Epi Barbie @karenerrichetti @obsmchat As a bariatric patient, I was informed that T2 was a potential consequence of my trajectory if I did not have surgery. I was not pre-diabetic so it did not make sense to me as a driver of my decision to have surgery: #obsm |
| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD Trus better results when #wls is early for #diabetes #obsm |
