The Jump6™ Weight Loss Management System
The Reimer Clinic is pleased to offer the Jump6™ weight loss management system that features the Obera gastric balloon.
The gastric balloon is a different type of weight loss system. It is not another diet plan and it is not surgery. The balloon provides you with a six-month kick-start to healthy weight loss. It is the ideal solution if you are looking to lose 20 to 40 lbs but do not want surgery and have found no success with diets, pills and other weight loss programs.
A soft expandable balloon is placed in your stomach to decrease your hunger. You will then work with a team of Jump6™ weight management experts on a customized plan designed to help you lose weight. Your team will help you retrain your appetite, adopt new nutritional habits and establish a good exercise routine. They will help you succeed and stay motivated in your journey to lose weight. After six months, the balloon is removed and you have completed your "Jump" forward to a better and healthier life.
What Does the Medical Literature Say?
A study from The Netherlands that was published in 1990 in the British Journal of Surgery reported a mean loss in total body weight of 21 kg after 39 weeks of balloon therapy. The maximum rate of loss was in the first six months, with a steady decrease of 1 kg per week. Two decades later, another study published in 2010 in the journal Obesity Facts concluded that the intragastric balloon is safe and effective for short-tern weight reduction in obese patients. The average weight of the participants decreased from 119 kg to 104 kg after having a gastric balloon for six months. Another study from Italy makes similar conclusions. Overall, the consensus is that the gastric balloon is a safe and effective route to weight loss for patients who have not succeeded with more conservative measures.
