“…These factors have fostered a spurt in interest in the utility of intragastric balloon (IGB) to achieve weight loss in excess of 10%. While earlier studies have documented the utility of various intragastric balloons in Saudi subjects[ 12 , 13 ], data on newer variants of balloons is lacking. Hence, this study is an attempt to evaluate the end of treatment success rates (ETS) and long-term treatment success rates (LTS) for recently introduced, GOST R certified intragastric balloon MEDSIL ® in obese patients referred to a tertiary health clinic in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.…”

AIMTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of intragastric balloon (IGB) in weight reduction in obese patients referred to a tertiary hospital in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.METHODSThree hundred and one consecutive obese individuals, who underwent IGB placement during January 2009 to May 2015, were analyzed. The subjects aged 18 to 60 years and had a minimum body mass index (BMI) of 27 kg/m2. The IGB was placed under conscious sedation and kept for 6 mo. Anthropometric measurements were recorded during and after 6 mo of IGB removal.RESULTSThe body weight, excess body weight, and BMI were significantly reduced at the time of IGB removal and 6 mo later. Body weight loss > 10% was achieved in 224 subjects at removal of IGB. End of treatment success and long-term success were both significantly observed in women (70 vs 11) (71 vs 12.5) respectively. Excess BMI loss was significantly higher in subjects retaining the IGB for over 6 mo both at the removal [43.44 ± 19.46 (n = 221) vs 55.60 ± 28.69 (n = 80); t = 4.19, P = 0.0001] as well as at the end of 6 mo’ follow-up [46.57 ± 24.89 (n = 221) vs 63.52 ± 31.08 (n = 80); t = 4.87, P = 0.0001]. Within 3 d of IGB placement, two subjects developed pancreatitis and one subject developed cardiac arrhythmia. Intestinal obstruction due to displacement of IGB occurred in two subjects. All these subjects recovered uneventfully after immediate removal of the IGB.CONCLUSIONIGB was effective in our cohorts. The observed weight reduction was maintained for at least 6 mo post IGB removal. IGB placement was safe with a satisfactory tolerance rate.

Quality of life and mental health are important outcomes of bariatric therapy. This review aimed to determine endoscopic bariatric procedures impact on postprocedural quality of life and mental health. Four electronic databases were systematically searched. Studies with adults >18 years who underwent an endoscopic bariatric procedure and reported preand postprocedural quality of life and/or mental health using a validated tool were included. Meta-analyses were conducted RevMan and study quality was assessed.Twenty studies evaluating five different endoscopic procedures were included (N=876 total sample size). Intragastric balloon placement was associated with a large improvement in postprocedural quality of life and mental health. Endoscopic bariatric therapies may improve short term quality of life and mental health alongside weight loss and comorbidity improvement.
