C: Comprehensive Care for the Obese Patient: Blending the Surgical and Non-surgical Approach (Jennifer Seger, M.D., & Michael Seger, M.D., F.A.C.S.) Providing the best care for obese patients requires good communication and a cooperative approach between the surgeon and non-surgical bariatrician. This is not always as easy as it sounds…remember residency?

B: Assisting the Bariatric Patient ThroughBehavior Change: Effective Tools for a 15-minute Office Visit (Phillip Snider, D.O., R.D.)Maintenance of weight loss is arguably the most dif-ficult part of the process.

8-10:30 a.m. Anti-obesity Medication on the HorizonThere has been a great increase in the incidence of obesity during the past 30 years; however, there are limited advances in the pharmacotherapy of this condition. With the appearance of new obesity drugs that have been or may soon be approved for use in the treatment of obesity, 2012 is a milestone year in the world of obesity medicine.
