AspireAssist is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that involves the use of a thin tube to drain a portion of food from the stomach after eating. This process, known as aspiration, is done about 20 to 30 minutes after the meal and helps to reduce the amount of calories absorbed by the body. The procedure is minimally invasive, reversible, and is performed under light sedation.
Success Rate: Studies have shown that patients can lose about 30% of their excess weight within the first year if they use the device correctly and maintain lifestyle modifications.
Recovery: The recovery time for AspireAssist is relatively short. Most patients can return to normal activities within one to two days following the procedure.
