With the rise of newer anti-obesity medications (GLP-1s), awareness around obesity as a chronic disease is growing — which is a great step forward.

But with that awareness has also come a lot of confusion.

These medications can be powerful tools, but they work best when paired with:
✔ Proper medical guidance
✔ Nutrition support
✔ Ongoing education and follow-up

Without that support, it can be harder to achieve safe, sustainable results.

At Advanced Bariatrics, our obesity-trained team — including providers and dietitians — works closely with patients to help them understand their options and build a plan that supports long-term success.

Because lasting results aren’t just about the medication — they’re about the strategy, support, and education behind it.

We are ❤️ this from Amy Fiebig Grant! is so proud of you!

I am 2 years after having gastric bypass surgery! I am so happy I did it. I have another 20ish pounds I would like to lose, but I feel so wonderful in my own skin now. After struggling for so many years with body image, and and internalizing our culture's opinion that obesity is a moral failure, a lack of discipline and self control, I am learning that obesity is a complex health issue and there is no shame in using the tools available (surgery, medication, nutritionists) in addition to learning to nourish my body with good fuel and focusing on my strengths. I am now on a GLP-1 to help me get closer to my goal and I am so thankful for all the tools available and the medical research that has gone into obesity medicine in recent years.

In the last couple months, I have essentially replaced my entire wardrobe and have had so much fun shopping for clothes that are cute, and make me feel good. The big shift has been that even though I am not at my goal weight, I know I deserve to have clothes that I love and feel good in. I don't have to wait until I am where I want to be to have fun with clothes.

Monday Motivation 💙
Living life with no regrets.
It’s something so many of us strive for.

One of the most common things we hear from patients after bariatric surgery?
They wish they had explored their options sooner.
Not because the journey is easy — but because of how much life opens up on the other side.

Emmie is a powerful example.
After her SADI-S surgery, she’s lost 120 lbs — and more importantly, she’s gained the ability to live more fully and intentionally.
✨ More energy
✨ More confidence
✨ More freedom to enjoy everyday moments

Her story is a reminder that investing in your health can create opportunities for a more active, engaged life.

Weight Loss Wednesday 💡

Did you know there’s a strong connection between obesity and fatty liver disease?

Studies have shown that a significant number of individuals with fatty liver disease — and even liver cirrhosis — are also living with obesity. With obesity affecting millions of adults in the U.S., this is an important health conversation to have.

The encouraging news?

Weight loss can make a meaningful difference.
For many patients, losing weight has been associated with improvement — and in some cases, resolution — of fatty liver disease.

Bariatric surgery is one option that has been shown to support significant and sustained weight loss, along with improvements in obesity-related conditions, including liver health.

Every patient’s journey is different, but taking steps to address your health earlier rather than later can have a lasting impact.
