Intragastric<unk> s are an alternative to bariatric surgery (or weight loss surgery), which is not generally offered to patients with a body mass index of less than 35.<unk> s are also designed for patients who require weight-loss support but who do not want to commit to surgical interventions. Intragastric<unk> s help induce weight loss by increasing satiety, delaying gastric emptying and reducing the amount of food eaten at each meal.<unk> s take up space in the stomach, which limits the amount of food that can be held. This creates an early feeling of fullness and satiety. A reduced intake of food then results in weight loss.
