Description CME Info Disclosures

This is webinar 2 of 3 from our new program: Obesity in GI Care: Start the
Conversation, Change the Narrative. Over the course of 6 podcast episodes and 3
webinars, you'll learn a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating
obesity, with a specific focus on patients with GI comorbidities. This series
highlights key findings and strategies from AGA’s 2017 Practice guide on Obesity
and Weight management, Education and Resources (POWER program).

In this webinar, our hosts Drs. Andres Acosta and Octavia Pickett-Blakely are
joined by Dr. Janese Laster and Barham Abu Dayyeh to discuss:

 * Gastroenterologists and the GI care team should embrace obesity care as
   weight management is proven to be beneficial in patients with comorbid
   gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
   (NAFLD), reflux esophagitis, gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD),
   gallbladder disease, pancreatitis, esophageal and colon cancer.
 * Gastroenterologists and the GI care team are poised to offer comprehensive
   care for patients with obesity who may require endoscopic procedures and/or
   bariatric surgery to achieve long term weight loss.
 * Updates on medications and devices for obesity management that are available
   now and a look into what may be available in the future.
