Good and Plenty

We decided to stay a bit longer in Florida after the MARS conference and watch some Spring Training baseball.

In our travels we came across many visual reminders that we were in a special and unique place, at a particularly wonderful time of year.

Trucks loaded with visible and overflowing oranges and grapefruit; mile after mile of citrus groves in the middle of the state; tomatoes and farm stands with fresh tomatoes and strawberries. And all this with 70-80 degree temps and sunshine with plenty to spare.

Kind of made me think about the MARS conference. There were many new and interesting ideas put forth, all with specific data and scientific experimentation to back them. The results?

You will see, as I organize a few of the ideas soon that are the most impactful to the way we think and practice in Bariatrics. Proper diets, weight set points, and surgery results that are a good part independent of behavior- (blasphemy!)
will be a few of the topics coming up.

For now, though, it will be some more fun in the sun, watching some baseball and working on storing up some fruit and vegetable servings for when I get back home.
