Summary

This study looks at whether taking tirzepatide for three months before bariatric surgery can lower inflammation and lead to better weight loss and health improvements after surgery. About 50 adults with obesity and related health problems will either take the drug or not before their scheduled surgery. Researchers will compare inflammation levels, weight change, and complications within 30 days after surgery between the two groups.
