1.	Weight Loss (Weight Reduction) 09/01/1988 - "The time-course of mean biweekly values, however, revealed that with the gastric bubble, weight loss was significantly greater only during first (p less than 0.005) and second (p less than 0.025) 2-wk evaluation periods. " 05/01/2013 - "The goal of this study was to evaluate the safety and the impact on weight loss of a new swallowable gastric balloon. " 05/01/1989 - "Several short term (10 days) or medium term (6-10 months) studies show a significant weight loss, but there have been no controlled trials to determine the relative contribution to weight loss of the gastric balloon vs dietary and behaviour modifications. " 08/31/2015 - "ReShape and Orbera--two gastric balloon devices for weight loss." 12/01/2014 - "To assess the efficiency of the endoscopic treatment through gastric balloon, both in the short and long term, and this is accounting for weight loss as well as tolerance. "
