Patient distribution by weight loss trajectory for scenario analyses

Group Standard Care Broad Improvement Top 3 Trajectories
G6 13.3% 39.6% 29.2%
G4 26.3% 6.1% 57.7%
G5 6.1% 27.8% 13.4%
G3 27.8% 21.6% 0.0%
G2 21.6% 4.8% 0.0%
G1 4.8% 0.0% 0.0%

Post-gastric bypass weight loss trajectories (G1 to G6 as defined in reference [10]) are shown ordered from greatest to lowest 10-year total weight loss, and percentages indicate the distribution of patients according to scenario. The standard care represents the base case; in broad improvement, all patients are shifted up to the next best trajectory (those in the best trajectory, group 6, remain there); in the final scenario, all patients are redistributed among the top 3 trajectories by total 10-year weight loss
