Most PwO took complete responsibility for their own weight loss and waited considerable time before seeking help from an HCP. There is a need for improved education of both PwO and HCPs and for a more positive attitude from HCPs towards initiating weight discussions with PwO.

ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03584191 LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, cross-sectional descriptive study.
