I read this a couple weeks ago and forgot until now to post about it. It's supposed to mimic gastric bypass without rerouting the digestive tract. I'm not sure how to feel about this minimally invasive implantable device. I previously had a Lap Band and it wasn't a pleasant experience. I guess if it makes it past clinical trials and gets approved, we'll see how patients do and if this is another option to end obesity and diabetes. Just thought I would share this with the community.

I don't really trust anything until it's been out for a few years.

Yep, same. And maybe not even then, since I feel like the Lap Band shouldn't have been FDA approved due to everything I experienced with it and the damage that it caused to my esophagus.

I haven’t tried Nobix yet, but I’ve been focusing a lot more on my overall health and beauty routine lately, especially after finding some helpful stuff through boots customer service. They actually helped me sort out a bunch of wellness products I was unsure about.

I've lost a significant amount of weight and feel more energetic and confident. The procedure was straightforward, and the recovery time was minimal. I appreciate that it doesn't permanently alter my anatomy, unlike traditional gastric bypass.

I get the caution after your Lap Band experience. If this new device works in trials, it could be a good less-invasive option. Worth watching how it performs long-term.
