[QUOTE="Trim, post: 54460, member: 14916"] 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 gets very expensive. A so called "surgical intervention" sounds like a lot of cutting and high risk which the endobarrier doesn't, although some patients have a general anesthetic. All it involves is an endoscope going through the stomach into the top of the small intestine where a 20inch sheath is deployed and kept in place by so called memory wire (the most expensive part) at the top of the intestine. All food from the stomach passes through this sheath but can't be ingested for the important first 20inches this very successful surgical intervention is still rare and expensive(much less so then standard ops) but mass take up would save the NHS a heck of a lot of money as its price would come crashing down. :D One of the reason I am so excited by this is I sort of thought of it first, my sister has a lot of her intestine removed because of chronns disease and of course is extremely thin not wanting my intestine removed I came up with The idea of a barrier but all the Doctors I suggested it to fifteen years ago thought it was a daft idea. I am so glad the Endobarrier has proved them wrong. :lol: [/QUOTE]
