Currently, diet, exercise and weight loss drugs are the only treatment options available for the vast majority of overweight and obese individuals. A small subset of the obese (those with a BMI greater than 40 or greater than 35 with a related comorbidity) qualify for bariatric surgery, but many fear the risks associated.
There is an enormous unmet need among the 50 million Americans with a BMI of 30-40 who do not qualify for surgery and this group is ideally suited for a nonsurgical weight loss treatment such as the ReShape DuoTM. The Duo is designed for those who are not heavy enough for surgery, but have exhausted their efforts with diets that don’t work.
