Wow, this is almost making me rethink my sleeve. At least this might be a good option for my husband. He wants to get the surgery but his BMI isn't high enough for our insurance.

At the moment, all of these devices can only stay inside a person up to 6 and possibly even 12 months. After the device is removed, I'm sure most people regain their weight. Hopefully, they'll figure out how to create devices that will be more permanent and won't need to be replaced every few months. Until that point, I think these are all great concepts and it's exciting that there will be more tools to combat Obesity.

Alex I'm so psyched about this invention. Looks similar to the flexible one, the Endobarrier, I posted in this area. The bad thing about that one was I think cramping and pain at times. I think I might be ok with it.. Weight issues have only been a problem for me the last 10 years or so, and I think once I lost it, I would hope perhaps with the freedom of my body to move, as I used to, be able to maintain it. Anyway, thanks for posting this on facebook, where I saw it.
