Non-surgical, FDA approved weight loss procedure

The FDA recently approved a non-surgical weight loss procedure called ReShape that is touted as an alternative to procedures like Lap Band. By introducing two saline-filled balloons into the patient's stomach for a period of six weeks, the patient feels fuller and will eat less. According to one academic study, ReShape patients lost twice as much weight as those only who received only diet and exercise coaching during the same time period.
