An inflatable balloon that can help people to lose weight was recently approved by the U.S. Federal Drug Administration (FDA). The balloon, which is temporary, can help those who don't qualify for weight-loss surgery to lose weight when diet and exercise aren't enough. A previous type of balloon was approved years ago, but it was removed from the market in 1992 because it posed the risk of blocking arteries if it ruptured. The new model addresses the previous issues. The device, which is called the ReShape Dual Balloon, consists of two balloons that are connected. The device is inserted into the patient's stomach, while under sedation, through an endoscope. The balloons are then filled with saline. The balloons take up space in the stomach, making the patient …show more content…
The solution is also dyed blue; if rupture does occurs, the blue dye will color the patient's urine blue, alerting the patient to the rupture. The device can then be removed by a doctor. Because the device is temporary, it is designed for quick weight-loss, rather than long-term results. It is not as effective as weight-loss surgery for those who are severely obese. A recommended diet and exercise plan must be followed while using the balloon in order for the procedure to be most effective. Though the device proved effective while in place, once it was removed patients regained approximately one-third of their weight after the trial. Additionally, the device may cause extreme nausea. In some patients, the nausea was so severe that the device had to be removed. The FDA cautions that it should not be used by individuals with stomach or digestive issues. Candidates for the device must have a body mass index between 30 and 40, with at least one health-related condition resulting from obesity. Candidates must also show that they haven't been able to lose weight through diet and exercise

Obesity is one of the most rapidly growing health epidemics in the United States and affects more than 60 million people. Despite recent efforts to understand and treat obesity, there has been little success in reversing the rising trend. There is convincing evidence that obesity is directly related to many health risks. As a matter of fact, morbidly obese people are at a high risk for weight related illnesses, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. However, research confirms that long-term weight loss success can help to significantly reduce these weight related health risks (Brethauer).

Martin Luther King Junior said, “Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.” Higher education does not exist for the sole purpose of preparing students for future jobs; it’s there in order to prepare individuals for life where they are expected to participate in their community, their government, and the lives of those around them. Liberal arts, in particular, exist for the broadening of students’ minds in order for them to be successful not only in their chosen career but also in their lives outside of it. Liberal arts lost their past popularity during the last few decades, but they shouldn’t be disregarded in favor of technical and professional degrees because they still provide students with skills that are perhaps less tangible, but no less necessary for life in modern world.
Many people seek for extreme measures with surgical support. Liposuction is the most common procedure yet others prefer reducing the size of the stomach restricting the amount of food one can consume. Surgery is a guarantee for removing excess body fat. Liposuction is a plastic surgery technique removing fats through a suction tube. Other procedures that is available for weight loss is the Gastric Bypass and the Lapband. Gastric Bypass surgery basically creates a smaller stomach from the existing one with aid from staples. The lapband seems to be much more preferable because this method does not require staples. Instead, a band is placed around the stomach and is able to be removed or easily adjusted. Additionally is a common technique, Mesotherapy. This method is a non-surgical procedure that contains numerous injections into the fat and tissue underneath the skin. These injections contain medicines, vitamins, and minerals to diminish cellulite and excess weight. Nothing else is more extreme than surgery. Obese individuals will have to resort to the proposition to transform their eating habits.

Obesity, the condition of being severely overweight, is a serious issue in the United States that is gradually beginning to affect more and more citizens. In recent years, the number of Americans suffering from this chronic disease has significantly increased. Researchers have found that nearly one third of the U.S. population is considered overweight and, on average, three hundred thousand individuals die yearly as a result of obesity (Hollands et al. 2). When one participates in little to no physical activity and their diet consists mostly of high fat foods, chances are they will gain weight.
