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).  

It's important to note that medications are typically prescribed under the supervision of a bariatric medicine professional.  Meet Your Bariatric Medicine Provider.

Before starting any weight loss medication, it's essential to assess your individual situation, discuss potential side effects and risks, and create a personalized weight management plan.
