RYGB patients respond better to WLM than SG patients. Those who had started WLM before regaining weight (AWL) experienced greater overall weight loss, suggesting that proactive medical therapy at the time of weight plateau can help with greater total weight loss. Phentermine + topiramate is the most effective WLM in post-bariatric surgery patients.
