(Pubmed Central) - Apr 22, 2024 Despite a relatively high incidence of weight regain, AOMs are underutilized following bariatric surgery.

All the AOMs were effective at inducing and maintaining weight loss, in the absence of significant changes in muscle mass, over a 6 month period, and the short-term use of phentermine and the long-term use of phentermine/topiramate or liraglutide would be practical choices for the treatment of obesity. However, further, large-scale studies are necessary to confirm these findings.
