In this episode of What's Up Wednesday, we review the article: Pharmacotherapies for Post-Bariatric Weight Regain: Real World Comparative Outcomes by Gazda et al. published in Obesity (Silver Spring) May 2021.
This was retrospective analysis of 207 individuals at one center treated for post-bariatric surgery weight regain between 2014 to 2019 (Of note: this was prior to the availability of semaglutide 2.4 mg or tirzepatide). They compared the percent body weight loss between patients receiving either ILM (intensive lifestyle modification) alone, to those receiving non-GLP-1 pharmacotherapy plus ILM, to those receiving a GLP-1 agonist plus ILM.
Listen in to hear the outcomes and to learn how to apply this latest science to your clinical practice!
