Dear friends and colleagues,

​

It is with immense satisfaction that we announce the First International Congress of the Bariatric Channel, to be held in the very cradle where this project was born: Manaus.

​

For four years now, the Bariatric Channel (BC) has been dedicated to democratizing, deepening, and disseminating knowledge in the fields of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery and Endoscopy. This has been achieved through content of impeccable quality, presented by surgeons and endoscopists from across the continents.

​

Throughout these years, BC has successfully brought together leading figures in these specialties for monthly online meetings, fostering lectures, round-table discussions, scientific debates, surgical technique tutorials, and shared experiences from centers of excellence. This has built a network that has strengthened and consolidated itself. Today, we are the "BC Family."

​

It is with great honor and pleasure that we announce the in-person gathering of this great family, from November 10th to 14th, 2025 (Pre-Congress and Congress), in Manaus. Together, we will create one of the largest and most relevant meetings in global bariatric and metabolic surgery and endoscopy!

​

I am confident that these will be unforgettable and memorable days, an experience that will remain in the hearts and minds of everyone.

I thank each and every one of you who has believed and continues to believe in this project, sharing your time, effort, and dedication with us. Assuredly, BC represents a unity that belongs to us all.

​

We await you with open hearts to celebrate together at this grand scientific meeting, in the heart of the Amazon.

Respectfully
