AGA issues new guidelines on the use of intragastric balloons for obesity.
After a detailed review of available literature, AGA has released new clinical guidelines recommending the use of intragastric balloons (IGB) for patients with obesity who have not been able to lose weight with traditional weight-loss strategies (through a weight loss clinic with a weight loss coach ). This treatment is most successful with accompanying therapy, such as lifestyle modifications, pharmacological agents, sequential IGB or bariatric surgery. These guidelines are published in Gastroenterology by Thiruvengadam Muniraj, Lukejohn W. Day, Edith Y. Ho, Shahnaz Sultan, Levi M. Teigen, Perica Davitkov, Raj Shah and M. Hassan Murad.
