The role of adjuvant pharmacotherapy with liraglutide for patients with inadequate weight loss following bariatric surgery.
Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery 2023 March 4
PURPOSE: Despite the benefits of bariatric surgery for many patients, there are a proportion of patients who do not achieve adequate weight loss. We evaluate the role of liraglutide as adjuvant pharmacotherapy in those who respond poorly to weight loss surgery.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A non-controlled, prospective, open-label cohort study in which participants are prescribed liraglutide following inadequate response to weight loss surgery. The efficacy and tolerability of liraglutide was measured through measurement of BMI and monitoring of side effect profile.
RESULTS: A total of 68 partial responders to bariatric surgery were included in the study, 2 participants were lost to follow-up. Overall 89.7% lost weight on liraglutide, with 22.1% showing a good response (>10% total body weight loss). There were 41 patients who discontinued liraglutide mainly due to cost.
CONCLUSION: Liraglutide is efficacious in achieving weight loss and reasonably well tolerated in patients who have inadequate weight loss post-bariatric surgery.
