vBloc Therapy

vBloc Therapy, also known as vagal blocking therapy, is a weight loss treatment that uses a device to intermittently block nerve signals between the brain and stomach. The device is implanted under the skin in the chest, and it sends regular impulses to the vagus nerve, which helps to control hunger sensations. This procedure is less invasive than other bariatric surgeries and is reversible if necessary.
