Nonsurgical medical weight loss options
Nonsurgical medical weight loss options are approaches to losing weight that do not involve surgical procedures.
These methods are often considered as the first line of treatment for individuals who are looking to achieve weight loss and improve their overall health.
They are typically recommended for individuals who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity).
