“The AspireAssist approach helps provide effective control of calorie absorption, which is a key principle of weight management therapy,” said William Maisel, MD, MPH, deputy director for science and chief scientist in the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, in a press release. “Patients need to be regularly monitored by their health care provider and should follow a lifestyle program to help them develop healthier eating habits and reduce their calorie intake.”
Around 20 to 30 minutes after a meal, the patient attaches the device’s external connector and tubing to the port valve. The valve is then opened to remove excess content over the course of 5 to 10 minutes. AspireAssist removes around 30% of the calories consumed.AspireAssist is designed for patients with a body mass index of between 35 to 55 who cannot achieve and maintain weight loss through nonsurgical weight-loss therapy.
We don’t see this as an attractive option.
The first thing we object to is the idea of an open wound to your stomach.
The second is the need that after 5 or 6 weeks you need to have to get a replacement part to continue therapy.
The third are the side effect of vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation and nausea.
The fourth is that once you remove the device you will regain the weight.
We have been telling you for a few years now that the way to lose weight is via a healthy diet lifestyle that you can life with.
We have shared with you the evils of sugar and carbohydrates,by following a low carbohydrate diet.. If you remove these two from your diet you will achieve the same results without the awful side effects.
