What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Easyband®Device

    The Easyband adjustable gastric band device is implanted laparoscopically around the top of the stomach to create a small pouch. Adjustments to increase or decrease the stoma size are made non-invasively by telemetric connection between an internal and external antenna.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Feasibility and Ease of Implantation

    Percent of subjects whose device implantation was rated by the surgeon as a 1 or 2 on a 5-point scale, where 1 is "very easy" and 5 is "impossible."

    Measured: < 1day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. % Excess Weight Loss

    Percent excess weight loss was defined as weight loss divided by excess weight multiplied by 100, where weight loss was equal to baseline weight minus follow-up weight, and excess weight was equal to baseline weight minus ideal weight.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Change in BMI

    Decrease in body mass index (BMI; measured in kg/m2) from baseline to 12 months

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Change in Weight

    Change in weight (in kilograms) at baseline to 12 months

    Measured: 12 months
