Is Ozempic a cure? Not quite.

It’s a treatment—meaning it works while you’re on it, but results may fade if you stop. 💉
Bariatric surgery, on the other hand, can be a long-term solution that changes how your body works.

Everyone’s path is different—talk to your doctor to find what’s right for you. 🩺✨
