The duodenal-jejunal bypass liner and the intragastric balloon are endoscopically deployed devices used in the treatment of obesity and diabetes. These devices use differing mechanisms of action, and concurrent use may lead to improved efficacy. Three obese patients who suffered from weight loss plateau with the liner had the intragastric balloon inserted concurrently. All 3 patients reported subsequent significant weight loss. None of the patients reported any symptom that indicate the interference between the devices. This is the first case series in humans of successfully combining 2 independent endoscopic bariatric therapies to overcome weight loss plateau in the primary treatment of obesity.

Bariatric interventions have shown the best therapeutic benefits in individuals with obesity. They can be classified into surgical procedures (bariatric/metabolic surgery) and endoscopic procedures. Common surgical procedures include sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, bilio-pancreatic diversion with or without duodenal switch and Stomach Intestinal Pylorus Sparing Surgery.

With the alarmingly increasing prevalence of obesity in the Western world, it has become necessary to provide more acceptable treatment options for patients with obesity. Minimally invasive endoscopic techniques are continuously evolving. Currently, metabolic and bariatric endoscopies encompass several different techniques that can offer significant weight loss and improvement in comorbidities with a favorable safety profile.

Introduction: Obesity is associated with reduced life expectancy and various comorbidities. Surgical interventions are effective but accompanied by the risk of serious complications. Less invasive endoscopic procedures mainly comprise the intragastric balloon (IB) and the duodenal-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL).

Obesity is a worldwide epidemic and is the second leading cause of preventable death. The approach to treating obesity involves a multidisciplinary approach including lifestyle interventions, pharmacological therapies, and bariatric surgery. Endoscopic interventions are emerging as important tools in the treatment of obesity with primary and revisional bariatric endoscopic therapies.
