Finally, doctors have invented a non-surgical way for those who want to lose weight!
If recently, this required shunting, installing a ring on the stomach or an operation to remove the side of the stomach, but now everything is much simpler.
The essence of the invention is the placement in the stomach of a special balloon, which is filled with water. The bottle is made of silicone and easily holds up to 500 ml of water. Thus, the stomach is always in its usual stretched state, and its owner feels a feeling of satiety after a small meal.
In order to place the silicone ball in the stomach, the patient undergoes a manipulation, similar to sensing: you need to swallow the tube with the ball at the end, inside the ball is filled with water, and the tube is removed.
The maximum duration of the balloon being in the stomach is limited to 6 for months, as the acid of the gastric juice gradually eats away the silicone. To prevent premature extraction of the balloon, patients are recommended to take drugs that lower the acidity of the stomach.
The cost of a full set of gastric balloon is about $ 4 thousand, but even this manipulation is not allowed to do everything. First of all, it is designed for people whose body mass index is from 30 to 40 units. Usually, these people have repeatedly tried unsuccessfully to lose weight on their own or with medications. On average, weight loss when installing the gastric globe ranges from 5 to 25 kilograms. With a very large excess weight we can talk about more than 50 kilograms.
Although the new invention has shown itself to be the best in the fight against obesity, it is still not as effective as removing part of the stomach. Despite this, for patients who are contraindicated for surgical intervention for other reasons (problems of the cardiovascular system, bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, poor blood clotting) - this will be the only possible way to achieve success in the fight against obesity.
But if, when installing the balloon, your weight has significantly decreased and there are no contraindications for surgical intervention, you can be sure that when you remove the lateral part of the stomach, you will lose at least the same amount of excess body weight.
