Yes; the manufacturers are very rude in not replying. At least they can put up a note on the web site about its availibility and when it will be.

Let there be some one giving them a little competition as in another manufacturer and they will come to their senses.

I have written to the manufacturers – they do not write back saying where the procedure is available. terrible

EndoBarrier Gastrointestinal Liner is available where and when?!… as it has been proven safe in trials, and given CE approval in Europe, it should be brought to market immediately to help relieve suffering and help stop the complications brought on by obesity and diabetes; it will be a gift for those who fear the effects of invasive, non-reversable surgery.

endobarrier is not available yet in u.s.a. it was approved in europe and soon they will start to do the procedure. you cannot have it done unless you live with in miles of the surgical center where you have the procedure done. so if you do not live within 40 miles of the facility you can not have it done until it comes to your area. the reason is there is a special instrument that is used to install it. and if you have any problems and need it removed in an emergency situation and do not live near your surgery center you will need to be cut open to have it removed. if you live . that is the problem at this time no long term data is available to know the complications that can arise.

Hello, I am going through the process of bariatric surgery. Even though my insurance doesn’t cover it I have been praying for a miracle. I told this to my doctor today and he wrote down the word “Endobarrier”. I asked him what about and with much confidence he handed me the peice of paper and asked me to research on line and asked me to consider giving it a shot before I try bariatric surgery. I agreed and have hard time finding much information because its something not practiced it the U.S. Is this true ? If not can you tell me the places where “Endobarrier” is practiced in U.S.? Also how does the process work and where can I get more information on this procedure? If I have to go to Europe to have this done then how do I go through their process and how much does it cost??? I am looking forward for your answers to my questions. Thank you
