Summary

This study is designed to investigate the impact of weight loss achieved with the IGB on NASH with early fibrosis in a select cohort of patients with obesity preselected to have a high pre-test probability of having NASH with early fibrosis based on magnetic resonance elastography (MRE)-Hepatogram. In addition, this study will explore potential non-invasive imaging criteria for NASH and early fibrosis using EUS-Elastography.
