Multi-society consensus guidelines have stated there is no need to routinely hold GLP-1 prior to procedures. Here is another real-world analysis again showing the lack of any increased peri-procedure adverse events.

The US has the highest drug prices in the world. The US is the only country that has Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). This whole drug pricing system is corrupt and the losers are healthcare providers and patients and the winners are the insurance companies. We have to fix

Weight reduction was associated with reduced risk for depression, improved quality of life and functional status, regardless of the intervention (bariatric surgery, medication). There was no increase in adverse psychiatric events, suicidal ideation. There was no difference in

Within a year of discontinuing GLP-1s, more than half of patients with overweight/obesity or T2DM regained weight, with the greatest regain occurring in those who initially lost the most weight. NYU Langone Health Endocrinology Clinical Research shines at #OW2025

The clinical trial data for orforglipron has been reported. This is only the first step. We now await real-world data for post-marketing surveillance. Clinical trial populations do not equal real-world populations. Excellent talk by Dr. Donna Ryan at #ObesityWeek

Orforglipron leads as an oral small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. There’s a lot to follow.

Honored for the opportunity to present “Weight change after GLP-1 discontinuation in US patients living with overweight/obesity or diabetes” today during #ObesityWeek. Key takeaways: 📊 Only 38% remained adherent to GLP-1 medications after 12 months, in our real-world analysis

Eloralintide leads to a decrease in waist circumference. How much? “6.7 inches. Or about 6 to 7 inches.” 😂 Actual quote from #ObesityWeek.

Hypothalamic obesity is historically a challenging disease to treat. After brain surgery that may damage the hypothalamus with tumor resection there is a dramatic gain in weight. Two tools have recently gained impressive weight reduction data- GLP1 agonists and the MC4R agonist
