On August 5th 2025, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) released updated guidance recommending that healthcare providers offer structured, ongoing support to patients after they complete obesity treatment or stop taking weight-loss medications.
Research shows that many people regain weight after stopping treatment if they don’t get the right help, which can negatively affect both their physical and mental health.
