About this study

Patients with obesity are at significantly greater risk of developing complications such as pulmonary dysfunction, diabetes, hypertension, and other co-morbid risks. NIH panel recommendations state that even a 10% short-weight loss would greatly reduce these risks. GI Dynamics' GI Sleeve represents a viable alternative to other short-term pre-surgical weight loss methods. GI Sleeve is a device that can be implanted and removed through minimal invasive endoscopic techniques. This endoscopic procedure brings potential benefits to patients in that it is minimally invasive, efficacious, and allows patients to recover faster with less morbidity and mortality.

Treatment and study plan

GI Liner

Device

Medical device placed endoscopically in the duodenum, nutritional counseling

Other names: GI Endobarrier Liner

Primary outcomes

  1. % of Excess Weight Loss (EWL)

    Time frame: 12 months

    Percent excess weight loss (EWL) was calculated using Body Mass Index (BMI25) method: BMI25=ideal weight in kg/(height in meters)2 Ideal weight in kg = 25 x (Height in meters2) Baseline Excess weight = total weight - ideal weight

    % EWL = (baseline excess weight - weight loss) x 100

Secondary outcomes

  1. HbA1c Values at 12 Months

    Time frame: 12 months
