In this episode of What's Up Wednesday, host Karli Burridge reviews the recently published article titled "Obesity Pillars roundtable: Excessive weight reduction with highly effective anti-obesity medications (heAOMs)" by authors Harold Bays,  Karli Burridge,  Jesse Richards, and Angela Fitch. This article was published in Obesity Pillars Volume 4, December 2022.

As we make our way into a new year, we are entering a new era of anti-obesity medications (AOMs).  Newer approved and investigational AOMs are achieving significantly  greater weight reduction than older AOMs, and are approaching bariatric surgery outcomes, which has has prompted an emerging new challenge of “too much weight loss” with some of these highly effective anti-obesity medications (heAOM) – something many did not think possible prior to year 2020.

Karli reviews the highlights of this roundtable discussion which includes perspectives from 3 obesity specialists to help prepare you, the clinician, for potential challeges with these new and emerging medications.
