The ingestible gastric capsule is a medical device that is swallowed and placed in the stomach in order to help people lose weight BUT ABOVE ALL TO MAINTAIN IT.
The capsule is shaped like a small capsule and is made of materials that are biocompatible and safe for the human body. Once the capsule has been swallowed, it is cut open and placed in the stomach, where it is inflated into a giant balloon. This balloon takes up space in the stomach, making the person feel fuller and less hungry. By reducing the amount of food eaten, a person can be helped to lose weight.
It is important to note that the swallowable gastric capsule is a medical device and is not available without a prescription. Also, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions and speak with a healthcare professional before making any decisions about using this device for weight loss.
