Single Treatment Outperforms Ozempic and Surgery for Weight Loss, Study Finds

A recent study shows bariatric surgery is significantly more effective than Ozempic-like drugs for weight loss, with surgery leading to an average loss of 58 pounds in two years compared to less than 20 pounds with drugs. Additionally, surgery is associated with a lower risk of psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and substance abuse. The studies highlight the importance of considering side effects, treatment adherence, and mental health impacts when choosing weight loss methods.
