Gastric emptying and obesity questions in Dr Roach column
A reader asks if fast gastric emptying influences obesity and if weight loss can follow. Dr Roach notes rapid emptying, or dumping, links to certain conditions and cites a 2015 study with exenatide showing more weight loss in those with faster emptying, but obesity remains multifactorial. Consider discussing exenatide with a doctor and address GERD with lifestyle changes and evaluation.
