IFSO 2026 Session💫🌎

📢"Practical Strategies for More Effective Conversations, Meaningful Follow-Up, and Improved Outcomes in Metabolic Bariatric Care"

We know weight stigma exists in obesity care. But how does it affect patient engagement, follow-up, discussions of recurrent weight gain, and long-term outcomes?

This session at Toronto focuses on practical solutions for bariatric teams:
• Real-world clinical cases and discussion
• Interactive exercises focused on everyday practice
• Simple tools to identify opportunities for improvement across the patient journey
• Actionable change you can take back to your clinic, program, or health system

The focus is not awareness alone. It's translating evidence into better patient and healthcare professional experiences, stronger long-term therapeutic collaboration, and higher-quality obesity care.

The goal: leave with practical change you can implement tomorrow.

Some people are biologically predisposed to hormonal and metabolic changes that drive them to eat more and burn fewer calories. On top of that, modern environments constantly expose us to highly processed, calorie dense foods ,making lasting change even harder without proper support.

Effective treatment requires medical and surgical care, not willpower. In many cases, regulating hormonal pathways through medical or surgical intervention is essential to successfully treat obesity.

Let’s fight obesity stigma and help patients access the specialized care they deserve.
