New Balloon Therapy Lifts Weight Loss Burden
In the United States, two-thirds of the population is said to be either overweight or obese. Now there's a new option for those who might need medical help to lose weight but don't qualify for weight loss surgery. This week Mayo Clinic gastroenterologists were the first in the U.S. to implant a new device recently approved by the FDA. The procedure involves the temporary placement of a special balloon in the stomach and has the potential for lasting results.
