Abstract
The advent of surgical interventions in the 1950s to mechanically (and nonmechanically) prevent and treat obesity was received by certain health care professionals with shock, looking risky and disproportionate for an imbalance between calorie intake and expenditure. Newer anti-obesity devices run the gamut from merely curious to relative aggressive, sometimes reenacting a similar degree of surprise and disbelief. Nevertheless, they are not mere curiosities or experimental musings, but actual therapies are available for selected candidates. This chapter reviews a current sample of oral, intragastric, intrajejunal, and swallowable products, with the corresponding usage and contraindications.
