“Should I use injectables instead of weight-loss surgery?”
It’s a question Dr. Naim hears often — and with his extensive background in bariatric research, his answer is grounded in experience and data.

🎬 Hollywood makes it look like Ozempic is the magic fix. But here’s what the headlines aren’t telling you…

Dr. Naim breaks down the real story behind weight loss injections — from sky-high costs to serious side effects like gastroparesis. And the scariest part? We still don’t know the full long-term risks.

If you’re truly struggling with weight, there are safe, proven options like bariatric surgery — backed by decades of research and real results.

Ozempic is everywhere in pop culture right now as a quick fix for weight loss—but it’s not the right solution for everyone. 💉✨

Before jumping in, talk to your doctor—and consider speaking with a bariatric surgeon.

There are safe, long-term options out there. Your health deserves a personalized plan, not just a trend.

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. 🩺✨

Ozempic and similar meds can be helpful—but they also come with side effects that aren’t talked about enough. 🤐

For some, bariatric surgery may be a safer, more sustainable option.
Everyone’s journey is different—know your options, and talk to a trusted provider. 🩺✨

Surgery vs. semaglutide? Very different paths.
But here’s the thing—bariatric surgery often delivers long-term results, while medications like Ozempic can require ongoing use.
Every body is different. Know your options. Ask questions. 💬💉

💉 Semaglutide was originally developed—and FDA-approved—for managing Type 2 diabetes, not weight loss.

Using it for weight loss is considered an off-label use, and while it can be effective at lowering blood glucose and reducing appetite, the long-term effects are still unknown.
Some patients have reported serious side effects, including gastroparesis—a condition that slows digestion and can be long-lasting. These medications aren’t risk-free, and they’re not for everyone.

Always consult with a specialist before starting any treatment.
