A study by Mass General Brigham found that taking the weight-loss drug semaglutide before bariatric surgery does not lead to better overall weight loss outcomes. The research suggests that bariatric surgery first may be more effective for obesity treatment. Further research is required to determine optimal timing and combinations of treatments.
