Obesity is a serious global pandemic that requires prompt interventions to avoid the development of complications. While diet and exercise interventions are always discussed first, drug therapy, bariatric surgery, and new gastrointestinal devices can aid patients in achieving weight loss to improve cardiometabolic outcomes. This activity describes in detail the available therapies, beyond dieting, to treat obesity and helps the interprofessional team initiate early treatment, taking into account their patient’s preferences.
