Josh Porter, PA-C, stops by to discuss his work in preventative medicine, specifically obesity medicine, and considerations for optimizing the ortho surgical patient.
In the final part of this interview, we discuss considerations for ortho surgery. How do you adjust weight-loss medications before surgery, and when can the patient resume? What side effects are important to discuss? How do you go about discussing weight loss with your patients?
