Why did patients apply to this trial?

I have tried for years to lose weight. It's been a hard process and will be thankful for any help I can get in accomplishing my goals. When I do lose a little weight, I gain it all back plus a few extra pounds each time. I have gained over 40 pounds. Help! Thank you so much. 🙏🏻😇.
