Measure
Group B
42 patients control group : patients were followed during at least 6 months before surgery by the same group of nutritionist that followed the group A and with the same type of diet and diet recommendations
IGB-BIB® Group A
39 patients included have a preoperative intragastric balloon during a period of 6 months before operation preoperative intragastric balloon ( IGB-BIB®): An intragastric balloon (BIOENTERICS INTRAGASTRIC BALLOON (BIB) SYSTEM)is placed endoscopically under conscious sedation was kept in the stomach during minimum 6 months. Patients were also treated with proton bomb inhibitors, and prokinetics to control gastroesophageal reflux . The balloon was endoscopically removed with the patient under general anesthesia to avoid bronco-aspiration related problems

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: during the 6 months having the intragastric balloon and 90 days after surgery

Population: Group B did not receive an intra-gastric balloon, and was thus not evaluated for balloon related complications.

total postsurgical morbidity included the morbidity specifically due to the Intragastric balloon plus all the postoperative morbidity related to the surgical procedure severe intragastric balloon morbidity refers only to medical complications which meet the criteria of severe of "The accordion severity grading system ".
