Using GLP-1 medication for weight loss has become very popular with our patients. In the recent past, this has produced a shortage of these medications available, and those taking them for management of diabetes have found them difficult to obtain. Although in most cases, they are quite successful in producing substantial weight loss, many have regained weight after the medication was discontinued. How much weight can patients expect to lose with these medications? When should these medications be stopped, or should they? Are there strategies that have shown benefit to help patients maintain the weight they lose once the medication is discontinued? This podcast is the second of three on using the GLP-1 medications for weight loss and we’ll discuss “The Importance of Lifestyle Changes with the Use of GLP-1 Medications for Weight Loss”. My guest is Dr. Tamim Rajjo, a physician trained in Preventive Medicine and Obesity Medicine from the Mayo Clinic.
