The Surgical Solution to Weight Loss
Bariatric surgery remains the best option for obesity over GLP-1 drugs. It provides greater weight loss, has more success resolving Type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea, and offers a lasting solution to altering the body's metabolic processes.
The Benefits of Bariatric Surgery over GLP-1 Drugs include:
Long-Term Success and Metabolic Reset: Surgery is the best option for severe obesity and offers a more permanent reset of the body’s metabolic system for all patients compared to medications that must be continued indefinitely.
Expected Weight Loss: Studies show surgery results in significantly more weight loss over two years than medications.
Insurance Coverage: Surgery is covered by most insurances.
