Special invention helps impressive weight loss

Biologists have developed a pill called Obalon that helps fat people lose weight quickly and simply. Obalon will swell like a balloon when swallowed into the stomach, creating a feeling of bloating.

Unlike other obesity treatments, Obalon does not need invasive surgery.

Instead, the slimming method only takes 10 minutes. Patients only need to swallow one capsule of the same size as a large vitamin tablet.

This capsule has been attached to a deflated balloon and a microtubule. When this capsule touches the stomach, the balloon will be inflated to the size of a jujube. After that, the capsules dissipate and the tiny tube is removed through the mouth.

The ball will remain in the stomach of an obese patient, giving them a feeling of fullness. From there, patients will eat less and lose weight.

The patient received a second ball after 30 days of pumping the first balloon. Continued, the third fruit will be injected after about 60 days, based on the patient's weight loss and satiety.

At the end of the treatment (several months), the ball will deflect itself and be taken from the patient's stomach by endoscopy.

The treatment of obesity in Obalon is worth about £ 2,995 (equivalent to VND 100 million) for a course with 2 balls. This method has been implemented in a number of private hospitals and some other clinics in London (UK).

The treatment will take less time than some other methods and is recommended for people with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or higher.

Clinical trials in the UK and in the US have shown that patients can average an average of 7.7kg in 12 weeks.
