Dr. Dhaval Mistry: Ozempic vs Bariatric Surgery? Truth About Weight Loss, Reflux & Taboo Conditions

Is Ozempic really the shortcut to weight loss — or are we ignoring better, long-term solutions? 👀 In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Dhaval R. Mistry, a highly experienced laparoscopic surgeon with over 11 years in practice and 3,000+ successful procedures, to break down the truth behind modern surgery, weight loss trends, and the health conversations most people are too uncomfortable to have.
