GLP1-RA and its role in improving weight loss after weight-loss surgery

Updated

Abstract

GLP1-RAs, particularly liraglutide (1.8-3 mg), significantly reduced mean BMI and body weight percentage at six months in a meta-analysis of 130 patients.

  • Adjunctive treatments like GLP1-RAs are being explored to improve weight loss after bariatric surgery.
  • The meta-analysis included data from three randomized controlled trials.
  • Significant reductions in mean BMI and body weight percentage were observed at six months with GLP1-RA therapy.
  • Future research is needed to evaluate newer GLP1-RAs with weekly dosing and longer follow-up periods.
