TLDR
The aim was to study the efficacy and safety of different types of intragastric balloon in morbidly obese patients and to establish a smoking cessation strategy for these patients.Abstract:
Background
Our aim was to study the efficacy and safety of different types of intragastric balloon in morbidly obese patients.
Patients and Methods
From 2005 to 2011, intragastric balloons were inserted endoscopically into 32 patients. Intragastric balloons were used in morbidly obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 35 kg/m2) individuals who were non-responsive to 6-month medical therapy and diet. Balloons were endoscopically removed after 6 months.
Results
Thirty-six balloons were inserted in a total of 32 patients. Mean age of the patients was 37.28 ± 12.08 (17–64) years and mean height was 169.81 ± 8.17 (150–185) cm. Initial mean weight was 128.87 ± 23.31 kg and BMI was 45.26 ± 8.48 kg/m2. At month 6, mean bodyweight was 116.93 ± 23.18 and BMI was 40.96 ± 7.96 kg/m2 (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, respectively). At the end of 6 months, while the excessweight loss (EWL) median was 13.0 kg, [interquartile range IQR: 5.0–16.0] and percent EWL median was 21.92, [IQR: 12.72–28.49] in the Heliosphere BAG patients, the EWL median was 19.0 kg, [IQR: 14.47–26.72] and the percent EWL median was 38.26, [IQR: 19.73–47.79] in the BioEnterics Intragastric Balloon patients (P = 0.006, P = 0.010, respectively for EWL median and percent EWL median). One patient died (3.1%) of cardiac arrest due to aspiration at day 13 after BIB placement.
Conclusion
Although not without risk, intragastric balloon placement is an effective method for weight loss. BioEnterics Intragastric Balloon is more effective in helping weight loss than the Heliosphere BAG balloon.read more

TL;DR: The task force recognizes the Orbera IGB for meeting the PIVI criteria for the management of obesity and recognizes the EndoBarrier duodenal-jejunal bypass sleeve (DJBS) for failing to meet the PivI thresholds.

Endoscopic therapy for weight loss: Gastroplasty, duodenal sleeves, intragastric balloons, and aspiration
TL;DR: Patients will have multiple endoscopic options with greater efficacy than medical therapy, and with lower invasiveness and greater accessibility than surgery, given the variety of devices under development, in clinical trials, and currently in use.

Filling the Void: A Review of Intragastric Balloons for Obesity
TL;DR: The use of IGBs is likely to grow dramatically in the USA, and gastroenterologists and endoscopists should be familiar with their indications/contraindications, efficacy, placement/removal, and complications.

Overweight and obesity worldwide now estimated to involve 1.7 billion people.
TL;DR: The new 1.7 billion overweight/obesity estimate by the WHO expert group results from the finding that obesity-related healthrisks increase among Asians from a lower BMI threshold, and recommends that the optimal BMI for Asian populations be narrowed to 18.5-23 kg/m.

TL;DR: BIB is an effective procedure with satisfactory weight loss and improvement in co-morbidities after 6 months, and previous gastric surgery is a contraindication to BIB placement.
