So we can usually help patients who have a body mass index above 40, or people who have a body mass index of 35 or above with a weight-related medical problem
The goal is to reach an effective maintenance dose for weight loss or blood sugar control while minimizing adverse effects
Several observational studies suggested improved neurological recovery and reduced mortality
