Ever wondered about the difference between a gastric bypass pouch and a sleeve? Historically, the pouch is specific to Roux-en-Y bypass surgery, while a sleeve is referred to as just that – the sleeve. It's a common point of confusion, so let's clarify.

Tuesday Talks returns next week!

For the Portland Bariatric meetup, we had attendees submit burning questions they needed answers to and Dr. Michael Russo graciously weighed in!

Kickoff question: “What happens if I have plastics but then lose more weight?”

While stability before plastics is the goal, things happen, and when they do, there are paths forward—Dr. Russo breaks it all down for us.

If you’d like more of these Q&As, follow The Bariatric Society and Michael Russo, then tell us what you want to know next in the comments.
