Nutrition and Obesity: Gastroenterologists’ Expanding Role

Guest: Mark DeLegge, MD

What unique perspectives can gastroenterologists offer to help manage and treat obesity, and how can gastroenterologists address the needs of their obese or overweight patients? When should a surgical bypass or lap-band procedure be considered? Host Dr. Jay Goldstein welcomes his GI Insights co-host, Dr. Mark DeLegge, to discuss the role of the gastroenterologist in preventing and treating obesity. You can access the AGA’s new materials about nutrition and obesity on the AGA's website, including The Nutrition Toolkit Series, authored by Dr. DeLegge
