The decision between GLP-1 medication and bariatric procedures is not solely based on BMI. Factors such as the duration a patient has maintained their current weight, their past weight-loss efforts, and their long-term objectives are all relevant. There is no universal solution; care is customized to each individual's unique journey, with GLP-1 medication being suitable for some and bariatric procedures offering a superior path for others.
