I am obese. Can obesity be treated?

1 Answer

It sure can. The best way to treat it is to see a doctor who treats specifically obese patients. You can find one near you on the following link: https://obesitymedicine.org/about/find-a-provider/

There are some great advances in the treatment of obesity; specifically, with Zepbound (tirzepatide) which was just approved by the FDA last month. I believe this medication will be a game changer in the ability to treat and be able to keep the obesity in remission. Obesity is a disease, and the medical world is finally catching on.

I wish you all of the success in your journey because success is exactly what you deserve!
