Does anyone have any feedback on the Bib System, otherwise known as the gastric balloon?
The gastric balloon system consists of a soft, expandable, silicon balloon filled with a sterile saline solution after insertion which effectively decreases the volume of food the stomach will hold at any one time. So, in essence, you have accomplished what surgery would, but with a procedure that is totally reversible. A feeling of fullness is present most of the time and a sensation of having eaten a full meal occurs after consuming only four or five ounces of food at any one time.
