A short YouTube informational segment by Dr. Charles Mok addressing patient questions about alternatives to GLP-1 drugs (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide products for weight loss. The speaker frames common patient concerns—diet/exercise failure and unwillingness to undergo bariatric surgery—and introduces non-pharmacologic options offered by the clinic, specifically the Orbera gastric balloon, which the clinic has used for about seven years.

So one of the questions we get is, what can I do to lose weight in the era of the drugs such as Wegovy and Ozempic, the semaglutide drugs, or Tirzepatibes such as Longerno and Zeppelin? What can be done if I don't want to use these medications? Diet and exercise is thus far failing, and I don't want to go through bariatric surgery on open surgical procedures. So there are some options that we offer. One is called a gastric balloon, and the one we've been using for about seven years is the Orbera gastric balloon.
