Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
successful weight loss 12 months after removal of the medical product (Note: The scheduled removal of the intragastric balloon is after 6 months, the EndoBarrier after 12 months. The primary EP is determined for the intragastric balloon and the sham-control after 18 months, and for the endo barrier after 24 months.)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Percentage weight loss 12 months after removal - successful weight loss (=10%) and percentage weight loss after 6 months - successful weight loss (=10%) and percentage weight loss at removal of medical product - remission and reduction of concomitant diseases at removal and 12 months after removal - change of the HbA1c-value at initial values >6,5% at removal and 12 months after removal - changes in quality of life (SF-36), physical activity (IPAQ) and body composition (BIA (Bioelectrical impedance analysis)) after 6, 12 and 24 months - complication rate of the endoscopic procedures in the periods 0-6 months or removal, 6-12 months or removal and time after removal - comparison of “success”12 months after removal (success is defined as excess weight loss of et least 25%)
