BACKGROUND: The BioEnterics Intragrastric Balloon (BIB(R)) together with restricted diet has been used for the treatment of obesity and morbid obesity.
METHODS: A prospective study was conducted on 100 patients who had undergone the BIB procedure between February 2005 and February 2007.
RESULTS: Mean age, mean weight, and mean BMI of the patients were 35.35 +/- 9.25 years, 113.23 +/- 24.76 kg (range 73-200 kg), and 39.28 +/- 6.98 kg/m(2) (range 30-69.2 kg/m(2)), respectively. Six months after the BIB procedure, mean weight and mean BMI were reduced to 100.46 +/- 26.05 kg (range 58-178 kg) and 34.70 +/- 11 kg/m(2) (range 21.83-61.59 kg/m(2)), respectively. There was a statistically significant reduction in weight and BMI at 6 months after the BIB procedure (p < p =" 0.035)," p =" 0.001).">
CONCLUSIONS: BIB application is a reasonable weight loss method with few complications.
