First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looks at how newer weight loss medications (like semaglutide or tirzepatide) compare to gastric bypass surgery in people with severe obesity. Researchers want to see how each treatment affects muscle loss, metabolism, and side effects like nausea or fatigue. About 60 adults who are planning to start one of these treatments will join and have body scans and surveys over a year. The goal is to help doctors and patients choose the best option for long-term health.
