With a growing reliance on GLP-1 treatments for obesity, researchers at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, compared body composition changes between patients who used GLP-1s versus patients who underwent bariatric surgery for obesity treatment. In this episode, host Rick Greene, MD, FACS, talks with Jason M. Samuels, MD, FACS, one of the authors of Body Composition Changes After Bariatric Surgery or Treatment With GLP-1 Receptor Agonists about the findings, which showed that while both treatments reduced fat mass, surgery helped preserve fat-free mass such as muscle and organ tissues.
