Core Tip Obesity is a prevalent chronic disease associated with significant metabolic and psychosocial morbidity. While metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) remains the most effective treatment, incretin-based therapies, particularly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, are increasingly used. However, these agents are relatively new, with limited long-term data and risks related to rapid weight loss, including nutritional deficiencies, lean mass loss, and psychosocial effects-well recognised in bariatric practice. Unlike MBS, which benefits from structured follow-up and multidisciplinary care, pharmacotherapy pathways often lack equivalent monitoring and support. This review explores how bariatric principles can improve the safety and long-term outcomes of anti-obesity medication use.
