Summary
This study compares an intensive non-surgical weight loss program—including meal replacements, behavioral support, and medication—with bariatric surgery for adults with severe obesity. Researchers want to see if the non-surgical approach can match surgery in improving health and quality of life. The goal is to offer more treatment options for people who currently only have surgery as an effective choice.
