Shift from monitoring weight loss to improvement in #obesity related complications, QoL and life expectancy as #obesitysurgery success measures.

We must address the root causes of #obesity #stigma Obesity is a NOT a self-inflicted lifestyle behaviour driven by a lack of personal responsibility for health. Weight/Obesity is not a behaviour. @WorldObesity @EASOobesity @Bias_180 @ECPObesity @ICPObesity
Despite efforts to reframe #obesity as a chronic disease, #stigma persists.
Is it time to rebrand obesity?

That 160% increase in Tesco profits this year? That used to be your family butcher. The veg shop. The hardware store. All those local businesses. If we each spend just a tenner a week in cash at our local small businesses we bring £20b into our local economies.

If you live in #NorthernIreland please read our letter to @healthdpt -call for equal access to obesity care & support. We call on health care staff to support us and the people they care for - especially key is the lack of support for children and young people. #WorldObesityDay
On #WorldObesityDay we share an open letter to @RobinSwann_MLA @healthdpt & @publichealthni to shine a light on the urgent need for #obesity services for the population of #NorthernIreland
Supported by a collective community that want action @FionaQuigs @DrLauraMcGowan

The gold standard for obesity care is bariatric surgery as it irreversibly changes the production of numerous gut hormone levels (media needs to investigate and report). Medications lack the fundamental ability to supply consistent medication to the patient (COMPLIANCE is the challenge to GLP-1 treatment) Compliance is what makes surgery the standard to compare all other treatments. Watch as @novonordisk attempts to overcome the compliance issue by creating a daily, monthly, multi-monthly, yearly, and multi-yearly pharmaceutical products that control obesity and chronic disease.
Novo is thinking about a "vaccine-like" version of Wegovy, a long-lasting obesity drug taken perhaps annually, the chief scientific officer told me in an interview.
