مقارنة بين جراحات السمنة وأدوية التنحيف بعد 10 أعوام

A study published in the journal (JAMA Surgery) showed that obesity surgeries, such as gastric sleeve and bypass surgery, achieve more sustainable results for weight loss and diabetes control than modern weight loss medications like (Wegovy) and (Ozempic), after a follow-up period of 10 years. The study included over 20,000 participants from the United States and Europe, comparing body mass index, blood sugar response, and long-term blood fat levels. The results indicated that obesity surgeries achieve a weight reduction of up to 25-30% of the initial weight, with continued improvement over a full decade, while medications show good results in the first two years but gradually lose their effect when treatment is stopped. The researchers emphasized the importance of combining lifestyle changes with pharmacological or surgical treatment to achieve sustainable results. The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery recommended further research on the long-term effects of new weight loss medications.
