Implantable Gastric Stimulator - Abdominal Pacemaker Reduces HungerThe hunger reducing pacemaker is considered by medical experts to be a much safer alternative to current gastric surgeries for weight loss, including stomach reductions and intestine alterations. What is the Implantable Gastric Stimulator?Manufactured by Transneuronix Inc., the hunger reducing pacemaker is a battery operated device about the size of a matchbox which is surgically implanted under the abdominal skin. The hunger reducer pacemaker has already been approved in some parts of Europe and Canada. How Does the Hunger Reducer Pacemaker Work?Via electrical stimulation, appetite is suppressed by the implantable gastric stimulator. In turn, the patient experiences a feeling of fullness thus curtailing food intake, thus achieving weight loss.
What is the Surgical Procedure for the Implantable Gastric Stimulator?The hunger reducer pacemaker can be implanted in about an hour and may be performed on an outpatient basis for most individuals. What are the Risks for the Implantable Gastric Stimulator?Risks are similar to those involved in stomach reduction surgery and include:
What does the Procedure for Implantable Gastric Stimulator cost and when will the Procedure be available in the USA?About $15,000. The gastric stimulator pacemaker is expected to be reviewed by the FDA in about 2 years and should be available shortly thereafter if approved. Initial Studies for the Implantable Gastric StimulatorThe hunger reducing pacemaker is currently under study. Almost 200 participants in the USA received the device via surgery. Out of these, half of the devices have been activated. Both groups were provided with a diet and an exercise program. Results may show that both groups lost weight - but the key element is determining how many will lose weight with the gastric stimulator. In Europe, studies involving approximately 500 patients who were implanted with the hunger reducing pacemaker shed 25% to 40% of their excess weight. The Implantable Gastric Stimulator in SummaryHunger pains are responsible for many dieters ditching their diet plan because hunger pains hurt. So regardless of how the study unfolds, getting rid of hunger pains has to be a plus - but at what cost? If an individual has $15,000 for the procedure, and is prepared for the risks that may occur due to the procedure, once the weight loss has been accomplished, the individual must work hard not to regain the weight. The majority of individuals who undergo common surgeries for weight loss gain back the weight. Therefore, the diet plan and activity plan are very vital in teaching the individual how to handle food externally so that the food is correctly utilized internally. The hunger reducing pacemaker may be the start of something very big in the way of weight loss for many individuals who struggle with weighty issues and who cannot shed the weight without help. Those individuals who have certain ailments such as diabetes and heart related problems could benefit greatly from even a small amount of weight loss.
