Held at the clinic the light the first seminar for surgeons and endocrine disrupters on the gastric pacemaker abiliti ®

Among the main conclusions are:

-the results of the gastric pacemaker abiliti ®, with the first 200 patients, are very encouraging.

-control of long term obesity is only possible if we reeducamos the patient.

Madrid, February 2012. He was held recently in the clinic La Luz in Madrid, the first clinical seminar abiliti ® system: A new way to treat obesity ”. In it Dr. Basilio Moreno, Chief of service of Endocrinology and nutrition Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón, Dr. Manuel Miras, responsible of the obesity clinic of the light unit and Dr. Manuel Serrano, head of internal medicine at the clinic La Luz have participated as speakers.

Data very hopeful for the President of the SEEDO

For Dr. Felipe Casanueva, President of the Spanish society for the study of obesity, SEEDO, and Assistant to the Act, the data that have been presented over 200 patients are very promising. It’s a technique that is worth studying, developing and experimenting with more patients; not only can give us information on weight loss, but it can also help in the great challenge posed by the recovery of the long term. One of the advantages of the abiliti ® system is the re-education by the signal emitted by the fluffer: the patient receives sensations of lack of pleasure or discomfort, so that, if it jumps the norm, he feels bad. It is a very important strengthening system ”.

Features the ideal surgical technique of thinning and valuation of abiliti ®

During the seminar, Dr. Manuel Miras explained the characteristics of the technique perfect ” in the treatment of obesity. To view Dr. an ideal technique is one that fulfills five rules:

-is effective, with a loss of more than 50% of excess weight kept for 5 years, 75% of the patients.

– has few complications: morbidity of less than 10% and less than 1% mortality

-is well tolerated by the patientno side effects and no loss of quality of life.

-is easily reproducible, using a technique that is easy to carry out.

-is reversible.

On valuation of abiliti ®, with respect to the ideal technique, Dr. view stressed that it is necessary to wait more years to know the long-term results, but already we can see very positive aspects of this system:

-No alters the anatomy and morphology of the stomach.

-No presents effects side.

-does not specify restrictions on the type of food. The patient will be able to eat anything, but going to do much less, so there is no nutritional deficits ”.

– require further monitoring of the endocrine or dietitian.

Importance of changing eating behavior and lifestyle of patients

As indicated Dr. Basilio Moreno during the seminar, is absolutely necessary in the treatment of obesity reduction of intake and increased physical activity. Today no treatment should be estimated if there is no increase of sport or ride, along with appropriate dietary rules and a change in eating ”.

Dr. Manuel Serrano corroborated, if we want to help obese patients, we must provide them with treatment which reeduque them in the long term and to help them lose weight. Treatment must provide permanent support to the patient to achieve significant, consistent and lasting changes in their lifestyle, and this is the main advantage that it provides the abiliti ® system. If she is not reeducan patients, before any treatment, patients will again gain weight ”.

Dr. Serrano noted, as a criterion for inclusion in the treatment with abiliti ®, the need that patients feel motivated somehow to make changes in lifestyle. Without this prerequisite, the system and the endocrine will not help them ”.
