V-BLOC Therapy - Information & FAQs | Adelaide Bariatric Centre

Is pregnancy safe with V-BLOC therapy?

Yes, we believe so. However as a precaution and because experience is limited, the device should be turned off once your pregnancy has been confirmed. Please advise our clinic ASAP if this occurs. After your baby has been delivered the device can be turned on again.

Will I "beep" when going through security checks at the airport?

Yes, as the rechargeable battery will register. You will need to inform security that you have a medical device which triggers the scanner.

What can I eat?

Because V-BLOC is designed to effect hunger sensation, there are no restrictions to food types other than high calorie foods identified by the dietitian.
