(Source: PMC / JAMA Surgery, 2025) An NYU Langone Study Found a Five-Fold Difference A separate head-to-head real-world study from NYU Langone Health and NYC Health + Hospitals found patients who underwent bariatric surgery lost an average of 58 pounds after two years , compared with 12 pounds for patients on a GLP-1 prescription for at least six months roughly five times more weight loss with surgery
