Successful Weight Loss in Adolescents with Overweight or Obesity Using a Swallowable Intragastric Balloon and Nutritional Oversight.

Purpose: Medical devices benefit patients living with overweight or obesity, but studies in the adolescent population are lacking. The goal of this study was to collect information on the performance and safety of a swallowable intragastric balloon program (SGBP) in adolescent patients.

Materials And Methods: Data were collected retrospectively on patients aged 15 to 17 years with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 27 kg/m who received the swallowable intragastric balloon (SGB) and associated lifestyle and nutritional change program.
