Obesity surgery consultant Dr. Naif Al-Anzi said that some people seeking to lose a modest amount of weight—up to around 15 kilograms—opt for gastric sleeve surgery, while those with higher weights often turn to slimming medications. He described this trend as a 'reversal' in choosing the appropriate weight-loss method.

Speaking on the program "Al-Rased," Al-Anzi explained that some individuals do not respond to weight-loss drugs, emphasizing that strict adherence to medical instructions, treatment plans, and dietary guidelines is essential to achieve the desired results.

He also stressed the importance of selecting the most suitable weight-loss method based on each person's condition and needs, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
