“The goal of these whiteboard talks is to help normalize bariatric surgery, dispel myths about what we do, and help people understand the risks of denying their obesity,” Dr. Brethauer explains. “I hope physicians can also use these tools as part of their conversation with patients as they decide whether bariatric surgery is right for them.”
