Ozempic vs weight loss surgery: What you need to know
from Ride To Independence: business growth with current and cultural bonus shows senior living advise · host Trish Manzo
In this podcast episode, Dr. Hans Schmidt, a seasoned bariatric surgeon, discusses the evolving landscape of obesity treatment with host Trish. Dr. Schmidt explores how medications like GLP1s are transforming weight management, offering a viable alternative to surgery. He emphasizes that obesity is a complex medical condition influenced by hormonal factors, rather than just willpower. Despite the efficacy of new medications, surgery remains a reliable option for those unable to sustain weight loss with medication alone. The discussion also highlights advances in bariatric surgery, such as minimally invasive techniques, which have made recovery quicker and safer. In my opinion its still the Gold Standard for the best weight loss results.
