If you’re considering weight-loss surgery, you may be wondering how it compares to non-surgical options. At AGH of Greater Washington, we offer non-surgical weight-loss options to help our patients reach their goals. The most popular non-surgical option we offer is Orbera®— our non-surgical weight loss program. Here are four key differences between surgical weight loss and non-surgical weight loss.
Non-surgical Weight Loss Is Less Expensive
Many times, surgical weight loss can cost a pretty penny. Surgical weight loss costs can range from $6,000 to $12,000 while non-surgical weight loss is typically way less. If you’re looking for an affordable weight loss solution, consider our Orbera weight loss program!
Surgical Weight Loss May Have More Serious Risks and Side Effects
Weight-loss surgical surgery may have more serious risks and side effects, such as infection, bleeding, blood clots, and even death. If you’re looking for a less serious weight loss option, our Orbera weight loss program is a low-risk procedure and might be the answer for you!
Surgical Weight Loss Requires a Longer Commitment
While surgical weight loss is a longer commitment, our clients have experienced that our Orbera non-surgical weight loss program offers a shorter time commitment and long-lasting results. Surgical weight loss includes a longer healing process while non-surgical weight loss doesn’t. Reach out if you have questions today!
Surgical Weight Loss Requires Permanent Changes to Your Life
With surgical weight loss, permanent changes are made that can never be taken back. One of the key differences between our Orbera weight loss program and others is that we don’t require you to make permanent changes to your life in order to lose weight. This means no restrictive diets, no giving up your favorite foods, and no having to exercise for hours every day.
