WELCOME MESSAGE

 

Dear Colleagues,

We are thrilled to invite you to the 8th International Congress of the Saudi
Arabian Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (SASMBS), taking place from
February 7-9, 2025, at the Mövenpick Hotel in Alkhobar, Saudi Arabia.

Join us during the best time of the year, when you can enjoy moderate
temperatures and sunny skies typical of the warm Middle Eastern winter. This
congress promises to be an unparalleled opportunity for learning, networking,
and collaboration among professionals dedicated to the field of metabolic and
bariatric surgery.

As you may know, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region have one of the highest
prevalence rates of obesity and metabolic diseases in the world. Therefore, we
anticipate this congress will serve as a vital forum for the exchange of ideas
on the management of this complex disease. With recent shifts in the
guidelines—where international, regional, and local societies have reduced the
threshold for intervention encouraged by level I evidence of the benefit of
therapy, and coupled with the emergence of numerous therapeutic modalities, this
exchange becomes even more critical, which is expected to take place in the
pre-congress workshop on new algorithms in bariatric therapy.

The main scientific sessions in the congress will feature leading international
and local experts providing insight on the role of each therapy and interactive
panel discussions focusing on challenging patient scenarios, allowing active
attendee participation. Additionally, winning digital abstracts will be
presented, offering an excellent opportunity to share innovative research and
local experience and results.

We are excited to announce that this conference will include two hands-on
workshops focused on the futuristic robotic and endobariatric interventions in
primary and recurrent obesity, led by expert instructors. The workshops shall
provide invaluable understanding, training, and skill development in how to
successfully utilize the latest cutting-edge technology in practice.

In addition, SASMBS will be joined this year by the International Federation for
the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO), MENAC, the Global Obesity
Surgery Society (GOSS), and the International Bariatric Club (IBC). This
collaboration underscores the importance of our congress and SASMBS’s role as a
regional leader in this vital field.

We look forward to hosting you in Alkhobar and making this a memorable
experience filled with insightful discussions, hands-on learning, and the latest
advancements in metabolic and bariatric surgery.

Warm regards,

Professor Aayed Alqahtani
Chairman of SASMBS
