The gut is much more than a digestive organ. It is a metabolic sensing and signaling system that helps shape how we respond to food, regulate appetite, and control metabolism.
Really enjoyed going deep on this with Andrew Huberman, from gut biology and the microbiome to obesity, GLP-1 therapies, and endoscopic treatments.

Incredible talk by Dr. Forcione on the numerous applications of Lumen-Apposing Metal Stents and how they've changed the field of therapeutic endoscopy!
✅ From cystgastrostomy and gallbladder/biliary drainage to gastroenterostomy and gastric remnant access, LAMS have enabled significant improvements in patient outcomes
FES Course retweeted
Dr. Lee Swanstrom making a compelling case for endoscopic suturing as an invaluable tool in the modern endoscopist's toolkit.

Engaging, comprehensive talk by Dr Stavropoulos on POEM.
✅DOs and Don’ts of POEM
✅ Learning curve - 75 cases to consistently have <10% mucosotomy rates
✅ Evolution of POEM techniques - underwater technique, amber light endoscopy, anti-reflux POEM

#Glp -1 or #ESG?
Or is it #GLP-1 AND #ESG??
Amazing debate with the incredible @allie_schulman and #ShelbySullivan @FesCourse

A lively and friendly debate between @allie_schulman and Dr Shelby Sullivan to start off day 3 at @FesCourse
@allie_schulman - ESG is efficacious, safe and durable. Durability of GLP1 is unknown. GLP1 associated with side effects.
Dr Sullivan - GLP1 treat comorbidities independent of weight loss. Newer drugs lead to even better weight loss. Most adverse events are mild. Some of the AEs are overblown
Bottom line - ESG and GLP1 coexist as great weight loss therapies. Shared decision making with patients based on their goals and after discussing risks and benefits is important
