Summary

People who regain weight after bariatric surgery may benefit from glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, commonly called GLP-1 medications, according to a study involving Regenstrief Institute, Indiana University, Purdue University and University of Florida researchers. The study found that patients prescribed these medications lost more of their regained weight over six and 12 months than comparable patients who did not use them. Bariatric surgery can produce substantial weight loss, but some patients later regain weight , potentially reducing the procedure's long-term health benefits.
