Not really as impressive as the headline:

“Though there is no consensus from a guidelines perspective, the use of the AOM Qsymia with a low-calorie diet prior to LSG has the potential to decrease weight and reduce surgical risk, while post-LSG Qsymia use could increase and maintain the total amount of weight lost with the potential to eliminate the need for a second surgical procedure,” said Santosh T. Varghese, MD, Chief Medical Officer at VIVUS.

(2) 'Potential to decrease weight". 'Potential is not scientific 'validity' or 'reliability';
(3) "Could increase or maintain ...." Could have, would have, should have, give me a break.
