Sheryl admitted that she was going to undergo gastric bypass surgery, before her doctor suggested a new weight loss drug, Wegovy, a weekly injectable that was approved by the FDA in June 2021 which helps suppress appetite.
Sheryl said, “I was going to have to get surgery. “And you have to go through the psychiatrist when you do it. You must do so via the dietician.
