Multimodal Treatment of Obesity in 2023: Lifestyle Interventions, Anti-Obesity Medications, and Bariatric Surgery 

Session moderated by Bob Wachter

When scientists discovered that GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide led to substantial weight loss, the landscape of obesity management changed dramatically. For patients with obesity, the range of treatment options – from lifestyle changes to medication to surgery to combination approaches – can be confusing and daunting. In next week’s Grand Rounds, Jonathan Carter and Diana Thiara will help us navigate the range of therapeutic options for obesity in 2023 and beyond.
