Short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video where Dr. Charles Mok (speaker) addresses patient questions about alternatives to GLP-1/GIP-GLP-1 weight-loss drugs (e.g., Wegovy, Ozempic, tirzepatide) and bariatric surgery. He introduces the Orbera gastric balloon as a non-surgical option his practice 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.
