Each year that we go to the ASMBS Meeting we have the honor of speaking with key leaders and researchers in bariatric medicine. This year was no exception as we started things off by talking with Robin Blackstone who is the incoming president of the ASMBS. She spoke with us about the mission of educating primary care providers when it comes to bringing up the subject of weight loss surgery with their patients. We also discussed how patients can help when it comes to advocating for access to weight loss surgery.

Great interviews as always. So happy to see the new products coming out to help WLS patients and the doctor’s studies continue to provide a data base that helps to educate everyone on the intricacies of obesity and bariatric surgery.
However, my crazy mind could not get past the sign over Lynnda’s shoulder while interviewing Dr. Jamal. Thursday night was ASMBS After Dark? LOL. My mind immediately goes to seeing Hef and numerous jet set playboys mingling with gorgeous ladies and cocktail waitresses while wearing smoking jackets. You guys must have had a swinging time!
Well Toni and Lynnda had a swell time at the After Dark party. As for me, I was holed up in a room editing those snazzy interviews
