Thoughts on GLP-1 Agonists affecting Bariatrics prospects
Hey all!
Apologies if this is not the right place to post, but I haven't seen much of any other threads on this topic. I'm currently an M2 and my goal for the past couple years has been to match Gen Surg and then do a bariatrics fellowship. I shadowed a bariatric surgeon as a pre-med and I really enjoyed it. However I've been hearing from physicians and students at my school that GLP-1 analog drugs like semaglutide, tirzepatide, etc, will kill the bariatrics industry and decrease the need...

What operations requires strict NPO?
I see surgeons order in NPO strict or NPO with meds and ice before surgeries, but there doesn’t seem to any obvious reason why they pick between the two. Some surgeons order NPO strict for laparoscopic cholecystectomy and others will be okay with ice and meds for the same procedure. I’m sure there are surgeries and risk factors that require strict NPO (bariatric, gastroparesis,etc), but is there any resources I can review to determine how this is figured out? Thanks in advance!

what to look for in advanced endoscopy program
currently a second year fellow, preparing for advanced match next year. can you guys give pointers to what to look up in the respective programs when applying?
My understanding is most programs(except few) require the advanced fellow to do EGD and colon 1 day a week, that will support their salary. My hope is get trained in ERCP, EUS, EMR, BE treatment, luminal stenting and possibly some intro to bariatric endoscopy(optional). Eventually plan to work in semi-academic environment.

Bariatric surgery
Can a person who is not obese pay cash and get weight loss surgery? Or would the surgeon refuse it unless they are BMI 40 or some cutoff like that? (Source: Student Doctor Network)
