THE ASPIREASSIST

The AspireAssist is different from invasive gastric bypass, gastric band, and gastric sleeve surgery. The device can be placed during a short outpatient procedure under twilight anesthesia, so general anesthesia is not required. If desired, it can be removed at any time through a similar 10-minute procedure, with no permanent changes to the gastrointestinal anatomy. With the AspireAssist, there are no extreme or sudden changes to the foods you can eat or drink. Instead, successful patients gradually learn healthy behaviors though the accompanying lifestyle counseling program.
