Description: Severe obesity and its complications are best managed by an interdisciplinary team including both surgical and medical providers. This webinar will feature presentations by leading experts, panel discussions, and dedicated time for interactive Q&A to cover best practice recommendations for the pre- and post-operative management of patients undergoing metabolic-bariatric surgery. Topics include optimizing pre-operative care and well as recognizing and developing approaches to the variability in post-operative weight loss and remission rates of obesity-related complications in both adult and pediatric patients. All registrants will receive on-demand access to recordings throughout 2022.
The Obesity Society is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

| Learning Objectives: |
| 1. Participants will have an understanding of best nutritional approaches pre- and post-surgery based on evidence and expert opinion. |
| 2. Participants will understand how metabolic-bariatric surgeries such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy impact glucose absorption and metabolism, including implications for diabetes remission/recurrence and risk for hypoglycemia. Participants will learn approaches to managing hypoglycemia symptoms. |
| 3. Participants will be able to advise patients regarding individual variations in weight loss and obesity-related outcomes following surgery and be able to formulate appropriate treatment plans for poor-responding patients based on evidence and expert opinion. |
| 4. Participants will learn indications, outcomes, and management approaches to metabolic-bariatric procedures in pediatric patients. |
