Annette Young+FollowOzempic vs Surgery: The Real Weight Loss WinnerTurns out, Ozempic and similar meds aren’t the weight loss magic bullet we thought—bariatric surgery actually leads to 5x more weight loss over two years! A new NYU study found people who had surgery lost about 26% of their body weight, while those on meds dropped just 5%. The catch? Surgery is way more permanent and invasive, but sticking to meds long-term is tough for most. If you’re weighing your options, this might be the reality check you need! #WeightLoss #Ozempic #BariatricSurgery #Fitness21Share
Dr. Ryan Newton+FollowTeens Turning to Surgery for Weight LossWeight-loss surgery is on the rise for U.S. teens—even with all the hype around new weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. From 2021 to 2023, surgeries jumped 15%, especially among Hispanic and Black teens. Turns out, these meds aren’t easy to get (or covered by insurance), so surgery is still the go-to for many. Most teens are getting gastric sleeves, and experts say it’s still the gold standard for lasting results.
