I certainly agree that obesity is a very serious and life-threatening issue for many. I applaud the pharmaceutical industry’s efforts to combat this condition. On the other end of the spectrum, those of us who have difficulty gaining or maintaining a satisfactory weight due to G.I. conditions are not left with a lot of options that I can see short of going on TPN. I have personal experience with this having been on TPN for 39 years and then weaning off for the past 12 months. Gaining and maintaining weight remains a full-time job. What is out there for us folks who have the opposite problem from those battling obesity?
Excellent review of the use of differing medications and reduction of obesity.
