Is surgical treatment for obesity a good and effective treatment for preventing the life-threatening complications and serious degenerative problems associated with pathological obesity? Do drug and medical device companies cash in to unprecedented degrees? Will overweight- and obesity-attributable spending continue to increase and government will continue to finance a sizable portion?

Does the food go on the inside of the endobarrier device with the digestive enzymes on the outside of the device? Does the endobarrier device modify metabolic pathways and prevent the mixing of food and digestive enzymes? Does the EndoBarrier stenting device migrate without safe and secure proximal fixation with T fasteners?
