A More Effective Option for GLP-1 Users
If you've been using GLP-1 injections, bariatric surgery may be a better alternative for your weight loss if:
- You're not experiencing the results you'd like
- You're experiencing side effects
- You need to lose a lot of excess weight
- You're gaining weight again after coming off of GLP-1s
- Your insurance is no longer covering your injections
- Your GLP-1 injections are getting too expensive
Bariatric surgery can provide more dramatic and long-lasting results, helping patients lose 60-70% of their excess body weight (compared to about 20% for GLP-1 users). For some patients, bariatric surgery can even be a safer option. Dr. Martinez can help you weigh your options and determine the best path forward to achieve your weight loss goals.
