Summary
This completed study looked at how tirzepatide, a weight-loss drug, works in real-world settings for two groups: people who regained weight after gastric sleeve surgery, and those preparing for obesity surgery. Researchers tracked weight and metabolic changes over 6 months in 254 adults. The goal was to see if tirzepatide helps manage weight in these challenging situations.
