Weight loss isn’t just about willpower, it’s about understanding what works for your body.

I sometimes incorporate weight loss medications such as GLP-1 medications, like semaglutide and tirzepatide, with my surgical treatment in order to optimize outcomes.

If you’re wondering whether weight loss medications or weight loss surgery or a combination could be part of your journey, let’s talk about the facts. Drop your questions in the comments!

It’s more common than you think, many patients confuse gallstones and kidney
stones 🤔 Gallstones and kidney stones are two similar-sounding conditions that
actually have different causes, symptoms, and treatments.
Yes, they both hurt. But they come from completely different places and need
different treatments. Knowing what’s actually going on is the first step to feeling
better.

You’ve probably heard of gallstones and kidney stones, but do you really know the difference?

One forms in the gallbladder. The other in your kidneys.

Different symptoms. Different causes. Different treatments.

Don’t guess, watch this to find out which is which.

Kidney stones:severe pain in your flank radiating down to your groin and can move in that direction as a stone moves.

Gallstones: pain in the mid upper abdomen or right upper abdomen that sometimes radiates to your right side and to your back. Aggravated by eating. Sometimes accompanied by nausea/vomiting.

Gallbladder pain isn’t just discomfort, it can be a sign of something more serious 🩺

Patients undergoing weight loss either through GLP-1 medications or other methods are at a higher risk of developing stones.

Many people ignore digestive issues until they become unbearable, but gallstones can lead to infections and other complications if left untreated. Knowing the symptoms and when to seek help is key to preventing bigger problems 🙌🏻✨

If you’ve been experiencing persistent pain, nausea, or bloating, don’t wait ⏳

If you are on GLP-1 medications for weight loss, you are at increased risk of developing gallstones. Weight loss through other methods, family history, and pregnancy are some of the other risk factors for developing gallstones.

Gallbladder issues are common and can be unpredictable- one day it’s mild discomfort, the next it’s unbearable pain 😥

Many people ignore the symptoms for too long, but waiting can lead to serious complications.

Knowing when surgery is necessary can make all the difference. Planned surgery is very safe, and you usually go home the same day.

Many people focus on food and exercise, but forget the one habit that supports it all: hydration.

Water helps regulate appetite, supports metabolism, and improves how your body responds to weight loss efforts. If you’ve hit a plateau, hydration could be the missing piece.

If your weight loss has stalled, you’re not alone, this is something I see in both surgical and medical weight loss patients.
Two common reasons? Not eating enough and not drinking enough.

These small habits can make a big difference in your results. Let’s get back on track together 🙌🏼
