re: Study finds weight loss surgery benefits obese teens for at least 3 years

There is testing going on now for a Balloon-in-a-pill technology. Instead of invasive surgery, you swallow a small balloon, inflate it, and achieve the same sense of fullness as lap-bands or gastric bypass. The procedure lasts a few months and can easily be undone.

If it's approved, it should be available in 2-3 years.
