Simple “gut reset” may stop weight gain after Ozempic or Wegovy

A minimally invasive outpatient procedure may help people avoid regaining weight after stopping popular medications like Ozempic and semaglutide, according to research being presented at Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2026. About 70% of people who stop these drugs eventually regain much of the weight they lost, often within 18 months. Nearly one in five adults with obesity has used a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), highlighting the scale of this challenge.
