Medical Weight Loss vs Surgical Weight Loss. Which option is right for you?

It is important to consider your weight loss goals and your current health status when deciding which approach is best for you—especially if you have conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea.

Take time to evaluate the potential risks and benefits of each approach and understand the long-term commitment and lifestyle changes associated with each option. It's also important to review your insurance coverage and consider both out-of-pocket costs and potential long-term savings.

Making an informed decision starts with understanding your options. Use our decision-making tree to compare medical versus surgical weight loss.
