Weight loss injections are everywhere right now. Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy — everyone's talking about them. But here's what most people don't tell you.
They work — while you're taking them. Stop the medication, and the weight comes back. Studies also show that up to 40% of the weight lost is muscle, not fat. (Source: The Independent)
These medications are also relatively new to the market. While short-term side effects are well documented — nausea, muscle loss, and digestive issues — the long-term effects are still being studied.
Actually, for some of our patients, we use them before surgery. If your BMI is very high, losing a little weight first makes your procedure safer and recovery easier. It's a bridge, not a destination.
The sleeve works because it physically changes your stomach no medication needed for life. One surgery, lasting results.
You'll need to stop at least 2 weeks before your procedure. This is important for anaesthesia and digestion safety.
