About

Dr. Terrel Humes is a leading bariatric surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for the most challenging patient populations, particularly those with super obesity and super-super obesity. His most cited work, "Surgery in Patients with Super Obesity: Medium‐Term Follow‐Up Outcomes at a High‐Volume Center" (2019, 50 citations), provides critical medium-term data on the comparative effectiveness of different bariatric procedures in this high-risk group. By analyzing a large retrospective cohort at Mohak Bariatrics and Robotics Surgery Center, Dr. Humes demonstrated which operations yield the best weight loss and comorbidity resolution, directly informing clinical decision-making for patients with extreme body mass indices. This study has become a key reference for surgeons seeking evidence-based guidance on managing super obesity, a population often excluded from major trials. Dr. Humes’ work bridges a significant gap in the literature, offering actionable insights that improve surgical safety and long-term outcomes. His contributions are essential for advancing personalized bariatric care, ensuring that even the most complex patients receive effective, data-driven treatment.
