Weight-Loss Devices
Doctors can help people lose weight with operations that place a weight-loss device in their body to
change how their body digests food. These weight-loss devices usually are placed in or around the
stomach.
Weight-loss devices sometimes help people lose a lot of weight in a short period of time. The actual
amount of weight people lose and how long the weight loss lasts depends on the type of weight-loss
device, on how the body reacts, and on people’s behavior.
Doctors cannot say exactly how much weight people will lose, or how long people will maintain the
weight they lose with a weight-loss device. However, doctors know what has happened to people who
have gotten a particular weight-loss device in the past. The typical or average result can help people
understand what they could expect from that device themselves.
In this survey, we will ask you to think about features of devices used to help people lose weight.
0302907 FDA Obesity –Survey
13
Type of operation to place a weight-loss device
There are three kinds of operations to place a weight-loss device in a person’s body.
Endoscopic surgery – Endoscopic surgery uses a long, flexible tube with a camera and light
attached to it to place a device in the body. The tube is put into the stomach through the mouth and
throat. For example, a stomach balloon is a device that is put into the stomach using this method. The
balloon is filled with liquid or air, which makes less space for food.
Laparoscopic surgery – Laparoscopic surgery is an operation that uses small cuts in the belly.
These openings are used for a camera with a light, tools for operating on the stomach or placing a
device in the body to place the device in the body. For example, an adjustable lap band (laparoscopic
band) is a device that is placed around the stomach through a small cut in the belly. It squeezes the
stomach to make it smaller.
Open surgery – Open surgery is an operation that uses large cuts to open the belly to place a device
in the body.

Diet restrictions
After getting a weight-loss device, people have to avoid eating certain foods, or change how much
and how often they eat. When people don’t follow these rules, they have stomach pain or more
serious problems such as cramps, sweating, fast heartbeat, or diarrhea.
In addition to having these problems, people who do not follow the diet restrictions regain the weight
they lost.
In this survey, we will ask you to consider 3 types of diet restrictions:
•
Eat ¼ cup of food at a time – This amount of food is about half the size of an apple. After
eating, people have to wait at least 1 hour before eating again.
•
Wait 4 hours between meals – People cannot eat food for 4 hours after finishing a meal.
•
Can’t eat sweets or foods that are hard to digest – People cannot eat sweets (such as ice
cream or milk shakes) or that are difficult to digest (such as pizza, French fries, or steak). Also,
people cannot eat food with a lot of fiber.
7. Please indicate how difficult you think it would it be to follow each of the 3 diet restrictions in
the table below? (Please select one level of difficulty for each diet restriction)

Example #1
Suppose there were two weight-loss devices with the following features.
Device A
Doctors place Device A in the body using endoscopic surgery, and recommend that everyone getting
this device stop eating sweets (such as ice cream or milk shakes) and foods that are hard to digest
such as pizza, French fries, or steak, and foods that have a lot of fiber to avoid stomach pain or more
serious problems such as cramps, sweating, fast heartbeat, or diarrhea. Most people who have
gotten Device A, and have followed the diet restrictions, have lost about 25 pounds.
Device B
Doctors place Device B in the body using open surgery, and recommend that everyone getting this
device eat only ¼ cup of food at a time. Most people who have gotten Device B, and have followed
the diet restrictions, have lost about 50 pounds.
Device A and Device B do not necessarily describe devices that currently exist. We are interested in
knowing what you would choose if they actually did exist.

How long the weight loss lasts
How long the weight loss lasts depends on the particular device and people’s own behavior. When
people lose weight after getting a weight-loss device, they need to change their lifestyle and accept
diet restrictions to avoid regaining weight. In addition to diet restrictions, these changes include
increasing physical activity and having weekly meetings with a support group.

[if B11 equals only “Type 2 Diabetes” or if B11a equals “Type 2 Diabetes”]
Effects of weight loss on diabetes
Research studies show that people who are overweight are about 7 times more likely to develop
diabetes than people with normal weight. Diabetes causes people’s level of blood sugar to be higher
than normal.
People with diabetes have a much higher chance of having health problems such as kidney failure,
blindness, heart attacks, and amputations. Taking medicines and following diet limitations every day
for the rest of their life can lower their blood sugar and decrease the chance of having these serious
health problems.
If people can lose weight and maintain the weight loss after getting a weight-loss device, they can
decrease the chance of getting diabetes. For people who already have diabetes, maintaining their
weight loss can let them take less medicine or stop taking medicine.
8. About how much greater do you think your chance is of developing health problems related to
diabetes compared to people with normal weight?
My chance is about the same as the chance faced by people with normal weight
My chance is higher than the chance faced by people with normal weight, but lower than the
chance faces by most people who are overweight
My chance is about the same as most people who are overweight
My chance is higher than most people who are overweight

0302907 FDA Obesity –Survey
20
[if B11 equals only “High Blood Pressure” or if B11a equals “High Blood Pressure”]
Effects of weight loss on high blood pressure
Research studies show that people who are overweight are about 6 times more likely to get high
blood pressure than people with normal weight.
Although high blood pressure usually has no symptoms, over time people with high blood pressure
have a higher chance of having health problems such as kidney damage, strokes, and heart attacks.
Taking medicines and following diet limitations every day for the rest of their life can lower their blood
pressure and decrease the chance of having these serious health problems.
If people can lose weight and maintain the weight loss after getting a weight-loss device, they can
decrease the chance of having high blood pressure. For people who already have high blood
pressure, maintaining their weight loss can let them take less medicine or stop taking medicine.

[if B11 equals only “High Cholesterol” or if B11a equals “High Cholesterol”]
Effects of weight loss on high cholesterol
Research studies show that people who are overweight are about 2 times more likely to develop high
cholesterol than people with normal weight.
Although high cholesterol usually has no symptoms, over time people with high cholesterol have a
higher chance of having health problems such as strokes and heart attacks. Taking medicines and
following diet limitations every day for the rest of their life can lower their cholesterol and decrease the
chance of having these serious health problems.
If people are able to maintain the weight they lose after getting a weight-loss device, they can
decrease the chance of having high cholesterol. For people who already have high cholesterol,
maintaining their weight loss can let them take less medicine or stop taking medicine.
8. About how much higher do you think your chance is of developing health problems related to high
cholesterol compared to people with normal weight?

Side effects that limit daily activities several times a month
After getting a weight-loss device, some people have side effects. These side effects include difficulty
swallowing, nausea, vomiting, and pain in or around the stomach. With some devices, side effects
last about 1 month, on average. With other devices, the average duration of the side effects is much
longer. People treat these side effects using over-the-counter medicines, or doctors prescribe
medicines to help with these problems.
Even after taking over-the-counter or prescription medicine for these side effects, some people still do
feel bad enough about once a week that they have trouble doing everyday work or social activities.
9. Which of the following symptoms do you think is most likely to make you feel bad enough
that you would have trouble doing everyday work or social activities? (please select only

Side effects requiring hospitalization
Within a year after getting a weight-loss device, some people will need to be hospitalized to treat
serious side effects.
Treating these serious side effects can often require:
•
Visits to the hospital with no operation – After getting some weight-loss devices, some
people have problems such as serious infections or dehydration from severe vomiting that
require care in a hospital such as intravenous (IV) antibiotics or fluids. After being treated,
people with these problems have to stay in the hospital for one or two days.
•
Visits to the hospital for an operation – After getting some weight-loss devices, some
people have problems such as serious bleeding inside the body that are severe enough that
they require an emergency operation. After the operation, people with this kind of problem will
have to stay in the hospital for several days.
10.
Which would you be more concerned about?
A 20% chance of a problem that required going to the hospital with no operation
A 5% chance of a problem that required going to the hospital for an operation

Thinking about the chance of dying from getting a weight-loss device
Now we will give you some information to help you think about the risk of dying as a result of a
problem with the operation or with the device placed inside the body to lose weight. The following
picture will help you understand how many people die from problems with the operation or the device.
Each human figure in the box below represents one person who gets a weight-loss device. There are
100 human figures representing 100 people in the box.
The human figures in color represent the number of people who
die within a year after getting a weight-loss device.
The human figures in gray represent the number of people who
do not die within a year after getting a weight-loss device.

Your thoughts about weight-loss devices
We now will show you the features of 8 different pairs of weight-loss devices.
As before, for each pair of weight-loss devices, please tell us which device (Device A or
Device B) you think is better for people like you. Even if you don’t like either device very
much, please tell us which one you think is the better option.
Please tell us how you personally feel about the devices presented. This is not a test.
There are no right or wrong answers.
The weight-loss devices you will see do not necessarily describe devices that currently
exist. We are interested in knowing what you would choose if they actually did exist.
Please assume that the initial weight loss from the device would occur during the first
year after getting the device. Also, please assume that all of your medical bills, including
the cost of medicines, additional operations and tests, are covered by health insurance.
Doctors cannot say exactly how much weight people will lose, or how long people will
maintain the weight they lose with a weight-loss device. However, doctors know what
has happened to people who have gotten a particular weight-loss device in the past.
The typical or average result can help people understand what they could expect from
