Multimodal Treatment of Obesity in 2023: Lifestyle Interventions, Anti-Obesity Medications, and Bariatric Surgery
-

When scientists discovered that GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide (which sells under the brand names Ozempic and Wegovy) led to substantial weight loss, the landscape of obesity management changed dramatically. For patients with obesity, the range of treatment options – from lifestyle changes to medication to surgery to combination approaches – can be confusing and daunting. In next week’s Grand Rounds, Jonathan Carter and Diana Thiara will help us navigate the therapeutic options for obesity in 2023 and beyond.

Speakers:
Jonathan Carter, MD, is professor of Surgery and the program director of the Advanced GI Minimally Invasive/Bariatric Surgery Fellowship in the Division of General Surgery at UCSF Health. He is an international expert in bariatric surgery and minimally invasive advanced approaches such as laparoscopic and robotic surgery. Jonathan is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.

Diana Thiara, MD, is assistant professor of Medicine and the medical director of the Medical Weight Management Clinic in the Division of General Internal Medicine at UCSF Health.
