When GLP-1s Fall Short, Bariatric Surgery Proves Durable for Weight Loss

GLP-1 drugs help some patients lose weight, but they don’t work for everyone.

Doctors say bariatric surgery remains the most durable weight‑loss option, though only about 1% of eligible patients undergo it, and stigma around the procedure persists as obesity is treated as a disease with complex effects on the body.
