Obesity is a chronic, lifelong disease with no known cure. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for the disease and has the highest and longest treatment efficacy rates. But new medications have been developed that support the treatment of the disease in multiple ways. These new GLP-1 medications work in multiple ways in our bodies and are proving to be a powerful adjunct or secondary treatment for the disease. Many post-op patients are onboarding these medications to help them lose their regained weight or reach a weight that allows them to be metabolically well.
Bariatric surgeon, Dr. Matthew Weiner, and Clair Paulye, PA-C, joined us to talk about how these medications work and why they are such a powerful treatment option for anyone struggling to manage their disease of obesity.
