| Core Tip |
The pioneering study of Agrawal et al shifts the focus of endoscopic bariatric revision from weight loss to two critical patient-reported outcomes: Quality of life and internalized weight bias. Their work provides foundational evidence that these procedures offer profound psychological benefits, and address these two core sequelae of obesity. This letter highlights the importance of this paradigm shift and outlines the essential next steps - use of larger cohorts, control for anti-obesity medications, and longitudinal data - to translate these promising findings into robust evidence for the holistic care of patients with obesity. |
