ReShape Dual Balloon Procedure

 

Curb Overeating Without Permanent Surgery

If you’ve been searching for an effective weight loss solution but either do not qualify for or simply don’t want to undergo bariatric surgery, the newly FDA-approved, non-surgical ReShape™ Procedure may be the perfection option for you.

What is ReShape?

The ReShape Procedure is actually quite simple! While you are lightly sedated with an anesthesia, Dr. Tom will endoscopically insert two connected, medical-grade balloons into your stomach – no incisions or scars necessary! He will then fill the balloons with a saline solution so that they take up an appropriate amount of space within your stomach. After about 20 minutes altogether, he will then remove the endoscope and the procedure is complete. The balloons remain in your stomach for six months.

With the balloons in your stomach, your appetite is significantly suppressed as you comfortably adopt healthy eating habits. You will feel full more quickly and your body will stop telling your mind that you need more food than you actually do.

After six months, Dr. Tom will deflate the balloons and endoscopically remove them.

Is the ReShape Procedure Safe?

The ReShape Procedure has undergone extensive clinical trial and has been deemed safe by the FDA. The dual balloon design conforms to the curvature of your stomach for a comfortable fit. The balloons are connected so that if one balloon deflates, the other holds it in place preventing it from passing through the digestive system.

Who is ReShape Technology For?

First, only those in the Las Vegas area currently qualify for the ReShape Procedure at Blossom Bariatrics. At this time, it’s important that we are able to see our ReShape clients frequently. We anticipate an ability to serve a broader clientele near the end of 2016.

Second, the ReShape was designed for people with a lower BMI than those who typically qualify for bariatric surgery (between 30–40). If you are overweight but do not qualify for bariatric surgery, you may qualify for the ReShape Procedure.

Will I Receive Support Along the Way?

Yes! With the ReShape Procedure, you will also receive a yearlong personalized coaching experience to assist in developing healthy eating, fitness, and general lifestyle habits.

During your weight loss experience, you will meet frequently with our all-star support staff who will coach and motivate you as you achieve maximum results. And don’t worry, they will be there after the removal of your balloons to help you stay on track when you may need their support the most! Rest assured, most patients are able to maintain their weight loss or even continue to shed pounds.

Additionally, as a ReShape client, you will gain access to the ReShape Patient Portal – an effective tool that helps you track your success. With the ability to log your weight, food intake, activity, goals, helpful articles and healthy recipes and access to community forums, reminders, and an easy and convenient way to share data with your doctor, the Portal equips you with everything you need to see astounding success.

How Effective is the ReShape Procedure?

In a recent study, patients who underwent the ReShape Procedure lost more than 2x the weight of those who attempted to lose weight with diet and exercise alone.
