“…The EBL% of the LSG group in the first postoperative year was also significantly different from the IGB group (81.48 ± 18.8% and 41 ± 17.3%, respectively) (p<0.001). Overall our study shows that LSG is more efficient than IGB placement in treating morbidly obese patients, a result which is compatible with the literature [15,17].…”

“…Most of those in the IGBG experienced GIrelated AEs. These were mainly reported during the initial adaptation phase (days [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and mostly resolved during the second week post-insertion ( Figure 4). Consistent with this, when an analysis was conducted of the impact of the three most common symptoms (nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain) on daily functioning (defined as: days off work or study), the mean (SD) number of days impacted during week 1 was: 3.7 (0.9), reducing to 0.6 (1.4) days during week 2.…”

“…One particular study followed 130 obese after gastric balloon therapy, and found their weight decreased by 13kg after six months of gastric balloon therapy [7]. Another study of 119 obese patients found the patients lost 12kg of body weight on average [8]. Furthermore, European trials found patients lose 25-40% of their excess weight after six months [9].…”
