About this Webinar:

The intersection of eating disorders (EDs) and metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) presents significant clinical challenges. Without cross-specialty knowledge, clinicians risk misinterpreting adaptive postsurgical eating as pathology or, conversely, missing the emergence of a new or relapsed Eating Disorder—potentially leading to iatrogenic harm and poorer outcomes. This webinar will cover:

• Screening for eating disorders in the context of bariatric surgery, including risk identification both before and after surgery;

• Differentiating normative post-MBS eating behaviours from patterns that suggest emerging

• disordered eating;

• Considering collaborative strategies to ensure client safety, improve outcomes, and deliver best practice care.
