This trial tests whether taking a weekly injection called semaglutide (a type of medicine used for weight loss) for about 16 weeks before weight-loss surgery can help people with a very high BMI prepare for surgery. It may reduce liver fat and make surgery safer, which could lead to better outcomes.
This study tests whether taking semaglutide (a once-weekly injection that helps control appetite and blood sugar) before and after a second weight-loss surgery can help people who regained weight after an initial sleeve gastrectomy. The goal is to see if the medicine improves weight-loss outcomes compared to surgery alone.
This study tests whether starting semaglutide (a weekly injection that helps with weight loss) soon after surgery works better than waiting to see if you need it. If you have not lost enough weight one year after your surgery, this trial may help you decide the best time to start this medication.
