Are Stomach Balloons The Future Of Weight Loss Surgery?
The last 30 years have presented numerous different cosmetic methods for beating obesity – gastric byp***es included. However despite the 2006 directive which demanded all Cosmetic Centers to have qualified surgeons and tools, these methods of cosmetic surgeries are still prone to causing health risks.
Even considering the fact that complication rates have dropped by 2.2% from 12.2% of patients to 10%, and mortality rates has shrunk from 0.28% to 0.20% – these improvements are not enough when you factor in the thousands of obese individuals who signup for these surgeries every single year&****ip;
Yet, this could soon all be changing if the ReShape’s dual action balloon system meets the approval of the Food and Drug Administration.
Designed to help slimmer’s who fall just below or above eligibility guidelines for gastric byp*** and band surgeries, or who are considered to be too young (under18); the double-balloon device could easily cater for this excluded group.
How does it work?
Currently, the dual action balloon mechanism is inserted into a patient’s throat using a tube before being pumped with saline. As these two oval balloons are filled, slimmer’s will soon will feel full and decrease their appe***e and lose excess lbs.
More excitingly, once slimmer’s attain their weight loss objective, this device can easily by deflated and removed from the stomach without risk.
Currently, this dual action balloon is meant to complete its first medical trialat the start of March where 30 consumers across 3 centers will be equipped with the balloon. Should it prove safe and effective, this research will be extended to 350 patients across 10 cosmetic surgeris and eventually will be presented to the Food and Drug Administration for permission to be used.
Does it work?
It is undis****ble that this device could essentially help thousands of consumers who are either under 18 or suffer from diabetes, heart disease and severe joint problems to lose those excess lbs, but this dual action balloon has got far to travelbefore it is recommended.
Back in 1984 a similar single balloon device was established by Garren-Edwards and was implanted into patients. However, with no backup membrane to prevent leakages, this balloon was prone to breakingand entering into the small intestine where it caused serious blockages. As a result this product was quickly removed the market.
Weight loss surgery is ultimately a rather expensive and dangerous method of losing weight – for those looking to achieve a consistant and prolonged weight loss without regaining the weight, consider trying a product such as Proactol. A clinicially proven and all natural method of losing weight naturally and safely without the risk of surgery!
