OSSI PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Greetings! On behalf of OSSI and the organizing committee of OSSICON 2024, I would like to welcome you to Kochi for the upcoming OSSICON 2024. Unlike other years, this OSSICON has been specifically planned not just for OSSI members or practicing bariatric surgeons, but for postgraduates and other laparoscopic surgeons who are still wondering what bariatric surgery is or should ever be doing it. Bariatric Surgery is one of the most rapidly growing specialties in the country with tremendous growth opportunities. With bariatric surgery now evolving to a treatment modality for medical diseases like type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, obstructive sleep apnea, PCOD, etc, the possibilities are abundant. Over the years, OSSI has grown stronger and stronger and is one of the most dynamic surgical societies in the country today. With our journal (JBS), virtual academy, fellowship program (FMBS), registry, etc, we have one of the most academic/inclusive societies today. With the backdrop of Kerala, I am sure each one will have an amazing opportunity for a blissful experience. Welcome you to be a part of OSSI / OSSICON 2024. See you all at Kochi.
OSSI PRESIDENT - Dr Praveen Raj
