The FDA has just approved the AspireAssist device from AspireBariatrics for Weight Loss.
AspireAssist helps you lose weight quickly through an innovative approach to portion control, reducing the number of calories absorbed by your body.
AspireAssist provides a channel for stomach contents to be emptied before the nutrients are absorbed further down in the GI system. A tube is placed within the stomach that connects to a port on the belly. About twenty minutes after ingesting food the patient connects an external component that includes a water bottle to the port. The patient then stands over a toilet, opens a valve, and lets the stomach empty itself. Squeezing the water bottle forces the water to enter the stomach in order to stir up its contents and to drain more out. This can be repeated until desired results are achieved.
This simple procedure takes just 15 minutes and can be done under twilight sedation. Best of all, there are no permanent changes to your anatomy.
AspireAssist is intended for adults with a Body Mass Index between 35 and 55, who have been unable to lose weight or maintain weight loss through diet and exercise. Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks to decide if the AspireAssist is the right choice for you.
