Why Some Patients Need GLP-1s Before Surgery

I sat down with bariatric surgeon Dr. Angela Glasnapp to talk about how GLP-1 medications and bariatric surgery can work together. She shared the story of a patient who was initially too high-risk for surgery. With the help of a GLP-1 medication, he lost 100 pounds, underwent sleeve surgery, and went on to lose another 140 pounds. That's 240 pounds total! It's a great example of how we can use different treatment options together to help patients improve their health.
