  • Fast and Insightful

    I find this podcast fast and insightful on a myriad of health and wellness topics that are relevant to everyone. I especially like ones that divert from the usual health topics and deal with the bureaucratic ins and outs of medicine.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What to Expect at Your First Prenatal Visit
Q: What should a patient bring or prepare for the first visit to make it more useful?
Patients should come with a list of questions and a comprehensive health and family history, and be ready to discuss how they're feeling about the pregnancy to help the team align the care plan.
What to Expect at Your First Prenatal Visit
Q: How do you personalize prenatal care for each patient?
Care is tailored by collecting a detailed personal, family, and obstetrical history, then adjusting the visit schedule and required labs or tests to fit the individual risk profile and concerns of the patient.
Bariatric Surgery in the GLP-1 Era: Who's a Candidate and Is It Safe?
Q: How much weight can someone expect to lose after bariatric surgery?
Weight loss varies by starting weight and procedure, with gastric bypass patients often maintaining about a 33% loss of total body weight and gastric sleeve around 25%, though individual results can differ.
Bariatric Surgery in the GLP-1 Era: Who's a Candidate and Is It Safe?
Q: What does day-to-day life look like after surgery?
Initial recovery often involves short hospital stays, followed by a phased diet from liquids to soft foods, with long-term goals of small meals, limited portion sizes, regular exercise, daily vitamins, and avoidance of liquid calories.
Bariatric Surgery in the GLP-1 Era: Who's a Candidate and Is It Safe?
Q: How safe is bariatric surgery compared to other common surgeries?
Surgery is very safe, with perioperative risk within a month of the operation comparable to gallbladder surgery, supported by multidisciplinary programs, established protocols, and highly trained surgeons that collectively make the procedure safer.
