Background: BioEnterics Intragastric Balloon (BIB (R)) is a non-invasive, temporary and relatively safe procedure shown to be effective in the short-term treatment of obesity. Nowadays, BIB (R) does not show convincing evidence of significant long-term weight loss, as compared with conventional management, and data regarding changes in metabolic and nutritional parameters are lacking. Methods: Forty obese patients [11 males, 29 females, age 36.65 +/- 10.6 yr, body mass index (BMI) 44.9 +/- 8.9 kg/m(2)] were evaluated before and 3 and 6 months after BIB (R) placement by assessment of anthropometric and biochemical parameters as well as nutritional habits. Results: Patients showed a significant reduction in weight (-13.2 +/- 6.5%), BMI (-13.2%), waist circumference (-6.5 cm), and percentage of fat mass (-19.5%), but not fat-free mass. A significant improvement in insulin sensitivity but not in lipid pattern was seen. After BIB (R) insertion, a significant reduction in caloric intake was paralleled by a redistribution of nutrients; in particular, increased lipid (12.8%) and decreased carbohydrate (-11.7%) percentage, but not absolute intake was observed. Conclusion: These data show that BIB (R) improves anthropometric parameters, with reduction of fat mass and preservation of fat-free mass, as well as insulin resistance, but not other metabolic features. The observed change in dietary habits, with a relative increase in lipid intake, once BIB (R) is removed, might favor body weight regain and impact negatively on body weight composition and the other traits of the metabolic syndrome.
