Sleeve Gastrectomy Saxenda
Subjects underwent Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) were randomized 1:1 at the time of 3 month visit after bariatric surgery. Saxenda: Saxenda is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist indicated as an adjunct to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in adult patients. Subjects were recruited and screened prior to undergoing bariatric surgery. Subjects undergoing SG will were randomized 1:1 at month 3 post surgery to Saxenda, 0.6mg SQ daily, with weekly titration of 0.6mg until maintenance dose of 3mg/daily reached. Subjects will remain on study drug for duration of study. After undergoing surgery, study visits were timed to coincide with the standard clinical follow-up visits at months 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36.
Sleeve Gastrectomy Placebo
Subjects underwent Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) were randomized 1:1 at the time of 3 month visit after bariatric surgery. Placebos: Subjects were recruited and screened prior to undergoing bariatric surgery. Subjects undergoing SG were randomized 1:1 at months 3 post-surgery to Placebo, 0.6mg SQ daily, with weekly titration of 0.6mg until maintenance dose of 3mg/daily reached. Subjects remained on study drug for duration of study. After undergoing surgery, study visits were timed to coincide with the standard clinical follow-up visits at months 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36.
Roux-en-Y Gastric (RYGB)
Subjects were recruited from the Nutrition Clinic at Mayo Clinic Rochester prior to undergoing RYGB surgery. RYGB: Subjects were recruited and screened prior to undergoing bariatric surgery. After undergoing surgery, study visits were timed to coincide with the standard clinical follow-up visits at months 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36.
