Regain After Surgery Is Common

A third of people regain a meaningful amount of weight within five years of bariatric surgery. GLP-1s are now the usual next step, with good results in studies.

Timing

Not in the first 12 to 18 months after surgery, when the body is still adjusting and nutrition is fragile. After that, with your surgeon's agreement, it can be considered.

What Is Checked First

Nutrition labs (iron, B12, vitamin D, protein), a review of how you are eating, and a conversation with your bariatric team. Nausea from a GLP-1 on top of a small stomach needs careful dose steps.

How It Works With Us

A $50 video consultation, labs at home, and a slow titration if the provider and your surgeon agree. Semaglutide $249 or tirzepatide $399 a month.
