GLP-1 Agonists and Compliance

[George K]

The problem, according to this tweet, is that you have to KEEP taking the meds (duh).

Gastric sleeve surgery has better results, and needs no compliance.

I'm of mixed opinion here. GLP-1 agonists have their share of problems (delayed gastric emptying, etc), but major surgery does as well.

With the sleeve you’re forced into daily compliance because if you eat too much you’ll throw up.

Both things result in rebound weight gain if you don’t change the way you live.

The sleeve forces the change. It’s basically surgically-induced bulimia.
