Smart Programmed Capsule

Obesity is one of the most dangerous diseases because it always causes serious complications that may affect the patient’s life, such as hypertension, heart attacks, lack of physical effort, strokes, diabetes, shortness of breath, arthritis, back vertebral pain, and other complications. Therefore, the first desire of the obese patient is to get rid of this disease that affects his physical and psychological health, so the patient resorts to widespread ways such as following intense sports and training for long hours a day along with reducing meals significantly.

Often these ways do not represent an effective solution to the problem but are considered complementary ways because they help the patient lose several kilograms, not many, but the obese patient needs to lose over 60 kilograms of his weight, in addition to the intense effort that many might not bear. Therefore, there has been another solution preferred by many, the newly emerging bariatric surgeries, which have effective and satisfactory outcomes for most patients despite some minor complications. 

As doctors continued to search for other modern techniques to get rid of excess weight without any complications or problems after the surgery, the bariatric surgeons have come up with several modern procedures, beyond Gastric Sleeve and Gastric Bypass surgeries, such as the Smart Capsule.

The Smart Capsule is the latest discovery by bariatric surgeons to eliminate simple obesity. It is considered a revolution in bariatric surgeries because of its advantages and ease of its performance.

The Smart Capsule is a small capsule-like vitamin pill. It is ingested and swallowed with a cup of water, and it is connected to a very thin tube. 

After swallowing and settling in the stomach, the surgeon inflates that capsule, through the tube, with a particular fluid. Then the tube is separated from the capsule and pulled out of the patient's mouth without any pain. The Smart Capsule is the first internationally authorized capsule that has proven its effectiveness and results through various experiments and researches.

The Smart Capsule is not used in cases of excessive obesity, which requires losing more than half of the patient’s weight. Instead, bariatric surgeries are resorted to because they are the best in these cases, as the Smart Capsule is performed in cases of simple obesity in which the patient’s weight increases by about 15-20 kg only. That is because the Smart Capsule has a certain life span period inside the stomach, 4 months, then it begins to decompose and passes through the intestines until it comes out with the stool outside the body.

1- The Smart Capsule is the best way in simple obesity cases that requires only 15-20 kilos to be lost.

2- It is performed without surgical intervention, as it is ingested with only a glass of water.

3- There is no need for general or local anesthesia, thereby reducing the risks caused by general anesthesia.

4- The life span of the capsule inside the stomach lasts for only four months. Then it begins to decompose by itself and comes out with the stool smoothly and naturally without any intervention from the doctor.

5- In the four months, the capsule occupies a large space in the stomach, thereby reducing the amount of food and feeling satiated most of the time.

6- There is no risk of bleeding or pain during and after the procedure.

7- The patient will not need a recovery period, but can practice his daily activity directly.

8- With the Smart Capsule, there is a scale linked to an application that is downloaded to the patient's mobile to follow his weight loss. The application also provides information that helps maintain his general health.

Despite its small size, its consequence exceeds expectations. The Smart programmed capsule is 100% successful, with strong and guaranteed results.

1- Eliminates excess weight in cases of simple obesity.

2- Resolves the problems of diabetes and heart disease.

3- Reduces hunger and provides a sense of fullness.

4- Increases chances of pregnancy.

5- Improves respiratory problems and raises the level of physical health of the patient.

6- Eliminates psychological problems caused by weight gain and body sagging.

7- Improves ability to practice various types of sports easily without fatigue or effort.

8- Improves the external aesthetic appearance of the body as well as the internal condition of the various organs of the body.

The Smart Capsule is considered a safe procedure for obese patients, but some minor side effects may appear after using the Smart Capsule, including:

1- The possibility of bowel obstruction due to fluid leakage is rare.

2- Reflux occurrence.

3- Some stomach pain.

However, these small percentage of risks can be avoided by following the instructions of your skilled Dr. Mohamed Abo El Naga and by fully adhering to the specified quantities and types of food.

Of course, it can be used for simple obesity cases, even with elderly patients, because it is very safe and does not require any surgical opening or anesthesia. Therefore, many patients are qualified to use the capsule, so any obese patient whose weight is 15-20 kg more than the ideal weight can resort to the Smart Capsule.

As we mentioned earlier, sleeve gastrectomy is suitable for obese patients whose weight exceeds the ideal weight by 50 kilograms. On the other hand, the Smart Capsule is ideal for simple obesity cases, whose weight exceeds their ideal weight by 20 kilograms. 

If the Smart Capsule is performed for extremely obese patients, the results will not be satisfied because it is not the most appropriate procedure for such cases.

1- The Gastric Balloon is a different procedure from the Smart Capsule, as it is done under the influence of anesthesia, while the Smart Capsule does not require any anesthesia.

2- The balloon is placed inside the stomach endoscopically, but the Smart Capsule is ingested with water.

3- The Gastric balloon is also removed endoscopically, while the Smart Capsule dissolves by itself and comes out naturally.

4- The Gastric balloon lasts longer than the Smart Capsule, as the Smart Capsule decomposes after 4 months, while the balloon lasts for 6 months.

5- The Smart Capsule is better than the balloon in stomach acceptance. It is made of advanced high-quality materials that do not cause any irritation or pain in the stomach wall, unlike the Gastric Balloon, which may cause gastric bleeding.
