They'd probably work. From what I've read, after cessation there is some typical weight gain even with the same diet, but it levels off.

That indicates to me it's doing a bit more than just appetite suppression.

I don't doubt it is more than merely an appetite suppressant; otherwise I'd expect it to show no significant efficacy over lifestyle changes alone in treating and preventing diabetes, and I understand that it does show such efficacy.

I don't know if that matters, or how much, for the obesity application, where appetite suppression seems plausibly the effect of sole or major interest.
