Özet
Background: The BioEnterics Intragrastric Balloon (BIB®) 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/m2 (range 30-69.2 kg/m2), 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/m2 (range 21.83-61.59 kg/m2), respectively. There was a statistically significant reduction in weight and BMI at 6 months after the BIB procedure (p<0.01). Excess weight loss (EWL) at 6 months ranged between 0 and 28 kg, with a mean value of 12.68±7.70 kg. The subjects had 0 to 99.2% %EWL (mean 28.63±19.29). Reduction in BMI at 6 months ranged between 0 and 12.3 kg/m2, with a mean value of 4.51±2.85 kg/m2, and percent excess body mass index loss (%EBMIL) was 38.20±28.78% (range 0-158%). At 6 months, there was a significant reduction in body weight and BMI (p<0.01) in both groups. The reduction in BMI of the morbidly obese group was significantly greater than that of the obese group (p=0.035), and both the %EWL and %EBMIL of the morbidly obese patients were significantly lower than those of the obese patients at 6 months (p = 0.001). Conclusions: BIB application is a reasonable weight loss method with few complications. © 2008 Springer Science + Business Media, LLC.
