I don't know when it started, obesity has gradually developed into a global epidemic, and the resulting diseases, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, etc., are increasingly threatening human health. Aside from some pathological obesity, in order to lose weight successfully, you must first control your mouth and then open your legs. Of course, this may not be a big problem for a small number of people with strong willpower, but for most of the willpower goods, including Xiaobian, it is relatively easy to open the legs, but it is a piece of mouth. It’s harder than going to heaven.
However, if you look at the following FDA-approved weight loss devices, you may think about it. These devices, either to take a ring around your stomach, or put a big water polo in your stomach, or stimulate your nerves from time to time with an electrode, just think about it is terrible. In order to have a healthy body, in order to avoid using these equipments in the future, we still have to carefully grasp the rational control of the diet to maintain the right amount of exercise is the king of healthy weight loss, in this bio-database Xiaobian is willing to share with the majority of foodies !
To date, the FDA has approved five categories of five medical devices for weight loss, including Gastric Bands, Electrical Stimulation Systems, and Gastric Balloon Systems.
1, Lap-Band adjustable gastric banding system (Lap-Band Gastric Banding System)
Approved for the first time in 2001 and approved for expansion in 2011. The product was produced and sold by Allergan and sold to Apollo Endosurgery in 2013.
This is a surgical implant device that helps adults 18 years of age and older eat less and lose weight. Lap-Band consists of a silicone ring, a tube and an interface. The inner surface of the silicone ring is inflatable and is connected to the interface by a tube. Lap-Band limits the amount of food you eat at one time and increases the time it takes for food to digest, helping people eat less.
Applicable population: obese adult population with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 40kg/m2, and BMI at 30-40kg/m2 accompanied by at least one obesity-related disease (such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, sleep apnea) Adult population of obesity. The Lap-Band gastric band is only suitable for adult patients who have lost weight due to non-surgical methods (such as diet control, exercise and behavior correction programs).
2, Realize adjustable gastric banding system (Realize Gastric Band)
Approved in 2007, produced and sold by Ethicon, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ);
This is a surgical implant device that helps adults 18 years of age and older lose weight. The Realize Band consists of a silicone ring, a tube and an interface. Realize Band limits the amount of food you eat at one time, while increasing the time it takes for food to digest, helping people eat less.
Applicable population: an obese adult population with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 40 kg/m2, and an obese adult population with a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 accompanied by at least one obesity-related disease. The Realize Band gastric band is only suitable for adult patients who have lost weight due to non-surgical methods (such as diet control, exercise and behavior correction programs).
3, Maestro Electrical Stimulation System (Maestro Rechargeable System)
Approved in January 2015, developed by EnteroMedics;
This is an appetite control device that surgically implants the abdomen to block nerve activity between the brain and the stomach. The device consists of a rechargeable electrical pulse generator, lead, and electrodes that help adults with obesity 18 years of age and older lose weight.
The Maestro System works by sending intermittent electrical pulses to the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is involved in regulating the fasting sensation of the stomach and sending a signal to the brain that the stomach feels hungry or full. An external controller allows the patient to charge the device and allows the healthcare provider to adjust the settings of the device to provide optimal treatment and minimize side effects. Although electrical stimulation is currently known to block neural activity between the brain and the stomach, the specific weight loss mechanism of the device is not yet clear.
Applicable people: Obese patients aged 18 and over who have experienced at least one weight loss program failure in the past 5 years, and obese adult patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 40-45 kg/m2, BMI 35-39.9 kg/m2 Adult patients with obesity accompanied by at least one obesity-related disease (such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea).
4, ReShape Integrated Dual Balloon System (ReShape Integrated Dual Balloon System)
Approved in July 2015, developed by ReShape Medical;
This is a kind of intragastric balloon weight loss device, which uses the balloon to occupy the stomach space to achieve weight loss. It needs to be removed after being placed in the stomach for 6 months. The system consists of two balloons. The balloon is placed into the stomach from the mouth by minimally invasive endoscopic surgery, and then 2 cups of saline and a blue dye (methylene blue) are injected into the balloon. If the balloon ruptures, the blue dye will appear in the patient's urine.
Applicable population: Adult patients with body mass index (BMI) of 30-40 kg/m2 accompanied by at least one obesity-related disease (such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia), and obesity who cannot lose weight through diet and exercise.
5, ORBERA Intragastric Balloon System (Orbera Intragastric Balloon System)
Approved in August 2015 from Apollo Endosurgery;
This is a kind of intragastric balloon weight loss device, which uses the balloon to occupy the stomach space to achieve weight loss. It needs to be removed after being placed in the stomach for 6 months. The device consists of a balloon that is placed into the stomach from the mouth by minimally invasive endoscopic surgery, followed by infusion of physiological saline to expand it into a spherical shape. Different volumes of normal saline (400-700 ml) can be injected into the ball to form the best match with the patient's body structure.
Applicable people: Adults with obesity who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30-40 kg/m2 and cannot successfully lose weight through diet and exercise.
