BioEnterics Intragastric Balloon (BIB) is a non-invasive procedure which proved to be effective in short-term treatment of obesity. ItÂ’s effect on alterations in metabolic parameters is poorly understood. Since our previous study showed different ghrelin and leptin response between groups of morbidly (M) and non-morbidly (NM) patients after BIB placement, we aimed to investigate the alteration dynamics in metabolic parameters between these two groups.<p class="abstext...
