Enjoyed having the opportunity to speak with local physicians about how there is no magic pill when it comes to severe obesity.
Recent weight loss trends have everyone asking their doctor for a magic pill (aka GLP-1). Every physician in the room had stories of patients it wasnāt so magical for.
Bottom line is this - if you are severely obese and your goal is to lose 100+ pounds, weight loss surgery is the way to go, and this is supported by peer-reviewed published literature. For this population, bariatric surgery produces substantially greater and more durable weight loss than GLP-1 medications alone and it has stronger long-term evidence for remission of obesity-related diseases and survival benefits.
Robotic surgery has truly changed the game when it comes to bariatric surgery. Iām proud to be an early adopter with thousands of robotic cases under my belt. I see patients annually for follow-ups have the best comprehensive team out there to support patients throughout their weight loss journey. If youāre interested if learning more about your options, call my office and letās connect.
