Glad to see that the Endobarrier is getting a serious discussion here at last, when I posted about it a few years ago it was called a plastic bin liner. :evil: There were a few cases where it got twisted up and had to be removed but the vast majority of cases it was a success, the major...

Its a pity scientist can't experiment on child murderers instead of mice we would save a few years and even possibly a few children.

I wonder how many years this will take? Researchers keep on finding new pathways but when I we going to see the products or pills? http://www.newsdaily.com/stories/tre52i7pw-us-obesity-gene/

Thanks Dennis I think two years for widespread use of the endobarrier in the UK is wildly optimistic it will be more like ten :( . Widespread use will dramatically lower the costs and as reported on the news the 'epidemic' of weight complications continues to grow alarmingly and expensively...

Thanks for your post CC. For the past thirty years I have trying all sorts of 'eating plans' (diets) I did for a while have some success with the HAY diet and Atkins but for some unknown reason despite losing several stones it eventually crept back on plus extra. Plus eating a high protein diet...

The Unusual Suspects that may cause obesity source Popsci.com http://www.popsci.com/node/32333 This article deals with some of the unusual ways that might cause overweight I hope you find it as interesting as I did.

Finding that the endobarrier was available on the national health and that I could have the procedure to reduce weight and type two done by my GP tomorrow. :D

Dennis Maybe it should have a political thread or even an ideas thread. For a start encourage government to give cash or prizes for people to lose weight, stop smoking or control their blood sugar. Even a MBE or knighthood for an average Joe Bloggs who does his bit to help the NHS to save money...

GI , GL and Paul McKenna diets are very good. But why just diet when new gizmos like Endobarrier are on the horizon put pressure on your doctors and MP's to progress such and you can have both. A belt and braces way to better health and lower weight. :D

To Fizzwizz Good luck with your exams, have you heard of the EndoBarrier which started in the States and is being tested in Holland, it is basically like a 60 cms condom which forms a barrier in your upper intestine and has been tested on patients waiting for Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery...

No it doesn't the small intestine appears to have different areas to absorb or ingest nutriments, minerals and vitamins, it seems the first 60 cms likes the stuff which causes a big spike in glucose, a small amount of malabsorbtion if it occurs is a lot easier to deal with then the complications...

Hi as a newbie to this forum I might be thought of as rude (sorry) but I can't stop myself from protesting the previous posts as I strongly disagree with them, the world epidemic of obesity and type two diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate, despite various low carb diets etc. The...
