Semaglutide and its link to weight loss after weight-loss surgery

Updated

Abstract

A total of six studies involving 300 participants showed a significant weight reduction of 15.730 kg following semaglutide administration after bariatric surgery.

  • Semaglutide is associated with significant weight loss in patients experiencing inadequate weight loss or weight gain after bariatric surgery.
  • The weight loss observed was robust across sensitivity analyses.
  • The findings indicate a potential role for semaglutide in managing weight issues post-bariatric surgery.
