Efficacy of the Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists Liraglutide and Semaglutide for the Treatment of Weight Regain After Bariatric surgery: a Retrospective Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Weight regain after bariatric surgery occurs in up to a third of patients and reduces treatment-associated health benefits. The efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity is well established, but their role in the treatment of weight regain after bariatric surgery remains to be defined.

Materials and methods

This was a single centre retrospective observational study conducted at a Swiss bariatric reference centre. Patients with 6 months of treatment with GLP1-RA, up until November 2021, due to weight regain after bariatric surgery were identified. Data on body weight and relevant clinical parameters were collected before and after 6 months of treatment with GLP1-RA. Data are presented as media
