Comment on „Elevated HbA1C level and revisional bariatric surgery complications“ by Zia et al. ❓Questioning A1C as a Risk Marker: Elevated preoperative A1C levels may not be as crucial for predicting postoperative complications in revisional bariatric surgery as previously thought. 💡 Study Findings:  16,234 patients included, no significant difference in early postoperative complications based on A1C levels, challenging the need to delay surgery for high A1C. 🤔 Methodological Concerns: The study’s unconventional A1C cut-offs and potential data inaccuracies call for cautious interpretation of the results. 👆 Impact of Bariatric Surgery: Delaying bariatric surgery due to high A1C may be counterproductive, as the surgery itself improves glycemic control and can lead to remission of type 2 diabetes. ❗️Need for Further Research: Prospective studies are essential to confirm these findings and update clinical guidelines regarding perioperative hyperglycemia in high-risk surgical cohorts.

Bariatric surgery gets a bad rap in many circles, possibly due to the word “surgery” being attached to it, or because of fears around cultural acceptance. But misconceptions about this procedure can deter people from getting what’s ultimately a safe, reliable, and sometimes necessary form of treatment and prevent employers from offering the best healthcare coverage to their employees.

In one of our most powerful podcast episodes to date, Intuitive bariatric surgeons Dr. A. Joseph "Joe" Cribbins III, MD, and Dr. Edward Chen of the Texas Center for Bariatrics and Advanced Surgery explain why revisions are sometimes necessary and needed. "If you've been listening to or watching the BariNation podcast for a while, you've heard us say obesity is a chronic and lifelong disease and that bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment. But what happens when our first surgery is not enough? What happens when our surgery does not get to a point where we are metabolically well or our first surgery triggers new and unwelcomed symptoms or complications? Revision surgery is something many patients will go through, yet it is surrounded in shame, guilt, and fear. April and Jason sat down with Dr. Joe Cribbins and Dr. Edmund Chen, two board-certified bariatric surgeons, to discuss revision surgery. We explore why revision surgery is sometimes necessary and needed and, we can identify when a revision might be required and better understand the steps we can take to begin the conversation with our medical teams. We spent time understanding how Jason came to his decision to pursue bariatric surgery and the guilt and shame he had to work through to find his bariatric hope again. As patients, we have to recognize that our disease will continue to progress in our lives, despite doing everything “right” and that the only way to live with the disease is to continue to treat it." If you have a patient who needs revisional surgery, please pass this fantastic episode on to them! #barination #revision #bariatricsurgery #revisionist #bariatricsurgeon https://lnkd.in/dWn4jkK2
