Bu metodun kilo kayb› üzerindeki uzun süreli etkisini de¤erlendirmeyi amaçlad›k. Gereç ve Yöntem: 2009 Haziran ay›ndan 2011 Haziran ay›na kadar 32 hastaya (14 erkek, 18 kad›n)

Real Life Changes in Physical Activity Due to Intragastric Balloon Therapy and Their Relationship to Improving Cognitive Functions: Preliminary Findings

“…Endoscopic insertion of the intragastric balloon (IGB) is a minimally invasive procedure leading to premature satiation, prolonged satiety, and influences the hormone levels regulating energy balance [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The weight reductions induced by IGB are retained by a relatively low number of patients over longer periods after its removal [1,[8][9][10]. As physical activity (PA) plays an important role in promoting long-term weight maintenance [11], we have evaluated changes in PA accompanying IGB treatment.…”

Changes in resting metabolic rate and body composition due to intragastric balloon therapy

“…Nevertheless, its long-term effects are more questionable, with a high rate of weight regain over 2 years after treatment, though some physiologic parameters demonstrated longer-term improvement despite partial weight gain [27]. Nonetheless, some studies report a relatively high rate of maintaining weight .1 year [28]. However, our data demonstrated that increase in RMR/ mass is associated with more weight, BMI, and EW loss, whereas a decrease in RMR/mass with less decrease in these parameters, consistent with de Cleva et al [29], who described such relationship after bariatric surgeries.…”

Modern endoscopic techniques for the treatment of obesity

“…Інтенсивна зміна способу життя пов'язана з незначною втратою ваги, що зазвичай не перевищує 5%. Фармакологічне лікування дозволяє додатково збільшити втрату ваги від 3 до 9% порівняно із самою лише зміною стилю життя, проте нерідко пов'язане з несприятливими побічними ефектами і не забезпечує довготривалої дії [20,36] [21,24].…”
