Will drs insert aspireassist tube/pump syst in overweight f - struggled entire life w/weight but not "obese"? is it healthy or med supported bulimia?

I suspect the: decision to use AspireAssist is highly individualized and includes BMI. This device is FDA approved and is much less complex than bariatric surgery. I, personally, agree with your concerns about whether it is a good long-term technique as it allows one to eat more and then remove, through a tube, a third of stomach contents before they are absorbed. Counseling to reduce food intake is done.
