Your ideas can help improve how doctors treat people living with obesity
Effective treatments for obesity integrate patient perspectives with the best available medical information. With this in mind, the Endocrine Society is updating their clinical practice guidelines on the medical treatment of obesity.
People with recent or current experience living with obesity are invited to share their perspectives and ideas in an online Listening Session in late January 2026.
What patients share during the Listening Session will be carefully considered by the Endocrine Society’s panel of medical professionals as part of the guideline development process. The Guideline Development Panel will also consider medical best practices and research. Learn more about the guideline development process.
These guidelines will help international healthcare professionals and patients with obesity to make informed decisions about their care.
Groundbreaking medical advancements such anti-obesity medications like GLP-1, recent innovations in bariatric surgery, and other approaches are changing how patients and healthcare providers think about obesity treatment. Treatments for obesity should reflect this new understanding, as well as patient perspectives.
Help create the medical obesity treatment guidelines of tomorrow.

Participants should plan to join for the full session. These 2.5-hour online interactive meetings will invite you to discuss obesity treatment.
Input gathered from these listening sessions will be carefully considered by the Guidelines Development Panel as the panel members develop and publish their recommendations for obesity treatment.
