Case description

Moderate weight loss may be achieved if patients adhere to a weight-reduction program. Weight gain can recur when the balloon is removed after six months therefore the patient should be following a diet program. Obesity appears to lessen life expectancy markedly, especially among younger adults. Obesity increases the risk of premature death from coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, gallbladder disease, and some cancers.
