Why is it dangerous to carry excess weight?

If you’re heavier than you should be, you’re putting yourself at risk of developing other health problems that significantly reduce your quality of life. Some of these complications can even be fatal. Complications of being overweight include a higher risk of:

• Certain cancers, including breast cancer
• Back pain
• Type 2 diabetes
• Heart disease
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Stroke

In many cases, being overweight will also affect your mental health. If you’re carrying too much weight, you may deal with low self-esteem, depression, and other such issues.

How do patients know if they need to lose weight?

One of the easiest ways to figure out if you may need to lose weight is to calculate your body mass index, or BMI. To calculate this number, you’ll need your current height and weight. If your BMI is 25 or more, you may need to lose weight. If your BMI is 30 or more, weight loss is even more important.

What is nonsurgical weight loss?

Nonsurgical weight loss is a method of weight loss that doesn't require major surgery. It's safer and less invasive than surgical weight loss options, allowing you to lose weight quickly without worrying about serious side effects or complications.

How can a doctor help?

Dr. Ibegbu offers four non-surgical weight loss options:

Spatz3®

The Spatz3 adjustable balloon system is a non-surgical weight loss option that features an adjustable balloon to help you successfully lose weight. It is the first and only system to use an adjustable balloon, which Dr. Ibegbu can adjust up or down to change the volume of the balloon to optimize your results.

In FDA clinical trials, the Spatz3 system helps patients lose five times as much weight than those on a diet. The system has a proven 84%* success rate over non-adjustable gastric balloons.
