Revisional bariatric surgery deserves technical discussion, not just before-and-after weights. This GSN teaching video covers bypass distalization. What drives your patient selection and nutritional follow-up plan? generalsurgerynews.com/Video…
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…

Bariatric care does not end with weight loss. In the latest Staple Line: surgery and cancer, late clots after sleeve, and Revita after tirzepatide. Three topics worth a closer look. Listen: mbs-digest.com/podcast/s/the…
New on The Staple Line, in my own voice: surgery and cancer, with one result that points the other way, and why a 30-day window can miss clots after a sleeve (board member Phil Schauer is a co-author of that paper). About 11 minutes. Link in reply.
In an 88,689-case TriNetX analysis, 29% of sleeve-associated portomesenteric thromboses were diagnosed after week 4; a 30-day window misses part of the burden. Anticoagulant data were unavailable. Disclosure: Dr. Schauer is a coauthor. MBS Digest Vol. 2, Issue 15. Link in reply.
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…

In a survey of 2,385 people averaging 12 years after bariatric surgery, 74.2% would choose it again. I want to understand the patients who would not, too. Long-term follow-up should ask more than weight. link.springer.com/article/10…
