ReShape Duo Gastric Balloon with Dr. Trace Curry at JourneyLite!

The ReShape gastric balloon, also known as ReShape Duo, is a dual balloon system and was just recently approved by the FDA for use in  the United States to treat obesity.  A perfect non-surgical option for patients who want to lose up to 50 pounds without surgery, the ReShape represents the latest in gastric balloon technology. The ReShape gastric balloon offers two balloons that are each filled separately, with the theory that it could cause patients to get full earlier and have better hunger control.  Each balloon is typically filled with 450cc’s of saline for a total fill volume of 900cc’s, versus the Orbera typical fill volume of 600cc’s. Placed without surgery and no incisions, the ReShape gastric balloon is a new technology for weight loss in the US, and offers patients a reversible way to lose weight without permanently altering their anatomy. All patients who receive a ReShape get a free FitBit and FitBit Wireless Scale.  These devices interact with a high-tech patient portal developed by the ReShape company to help their patients lose more weight and stay on track. Dr. Trace Curry was the first physician in Ohio to place the ReShape balloon, and his practice is the only in Ohio currently offering the procedure.  Dr. Curry has placed more gastric balloons than nearly any other doctor in the US.
