Thanks, Scott and good afternoon, everyone, thank you for joining us. We have a lot of great news to share with you today but I want to start off with addressing the financing we announced this morning. While we raised a bit less capital at more difficult terms than we set out for, the financing markets have been particularly difficult for early stage micro-cap companies such as ReShape and we are pleased to have gotten a deal done with a strong investor as our partner. While the market will now likely take some time to digest the terms, we and our Board believe this was the best deal for the Company and we are pleased to have a cash infusion as we continue to grow ReShape Lifesciences. In terms of the specifics, this morning we announced that we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investors providing for the purchase and sale in a registered direct offering of shares of Series D convertible preferred stock and a warrant to purchase shares of common stock for the purchase price of $6 million. We expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $5.25 million after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering to continue to commercialize our efforts for clinical, product development activities and for other working capital and general corporate purposes. I will now share with you all that we accomplished at ReShape Lifesciences in 2017. During this past year our team proved our ability to not only deliver a solid strategy but more importantly to follow through and execute on that strategy. During 2017, we transformed EnteroMedics, a single product company into ReShape Lifesciences, an obese company with a comprehensive offering of technologies to address the obesity continuum of care. In May we announced the acquisition of BarioSurg which added to our toolbox of innovative and proprietary gastric vest recently rebranded the ReShape Vest. The vest which will be starting trial soon in Europe is a revolutionary minimally invasive not anatomy altering laparoscopic device to enable weight loss with stomach preservation. Under heels of our acquisition of BarioSurg in October we announced the acquisition of ReShape Medical and subsequently the change of our Company name from EnteroMedics to ReShape Lifesciences. The second acquisition represented not only the culmination of our state of strategic goal to become a full scale obesity company but it also shows the strength of our team to execute and deliver on our vision. I will talk in more detail about each of these products as well as vBloc as we move through today's call. As we enter 2018, we turned our focus from building our product suite to commercialization and building clinical support. In conjunction with this shift and as we finalized the integration of our two acquisitions, we conducted a strategic review of our business operations and finances. It was through this review that we identified some areas where we could better align our expenses with our revenues which resulted in a plan to reduce operating expenses. Unfortunately, as part of this reduction, we had to make some cuts to our workforce including in our sales force which was a very hard decision. I would like to thank and acknowledge those affected by this decision, all of whose hardwork has been instrumental in bringing our life changing technologies to market. We do believe these changes will better align our organization and will strengthen our financial position as we look to grow. On today's call, I will talk in more detail about each of our products. I will provide an update on the integration and will also go into some detail around our sales strategy. Scott will then provide detail on our fourth quarter and year-end results. Finally, I will wrap up and then we will look forward to taking your questions. ReShape Lifesciences is an obesity company offering two FDA approved products and a third exciting product about to enter CE and IDE studies. Our products can serve patients across the spectrum. From our ReShape balloons for patients with a BMI between 30 and 40, to vBloc therapy for patients with a BMI between 35 and 45, and finally, and finally, our ReShape Vest which is intended for morbidly obese patients with BMI of 40 and above. First, our ReShape balloon which we acquired in October is differentiated from other inter-gastric balloons by the dual balloon configuration. This design allows for more potential fill volume and takes us more space in the stomach compared to other products in the market thus aiding in patients weight loss. Earlier this month we shared that we had signed an exclusive agreement for distribution of the ReShape balloon by academy medical to over 400 Department of Defense, DoD medical facilities in the United States. Academy Medicals are certified service disabled veteran owned small business specializing in the distribution of medical products to VA and DoD hospitals and community based outpatient clinics. This agreement establishes the ReShape balloon as the exclusive inter-gastric balloon that our distributor will sell to DoD facilities validating our technology as their balloon of choice. Through this most recent agreement, both the ReShape balloon and ReShape vBloc are both now contracted products to be distributed by Academy Medical into DoD medical facilities and for use by the bariatric surgeons and GI doctors who work at these facilities. You may also remember that in December we announced that we are granted employee coverage of the ReShape balloon at a multi-national telecommunications corporation through a supplemental coverage policy called Care Plus. This policy covers the lives of 254,000 employees of telecommunications company and gives them access to the ReShape balloon. We are optimistic that this policy decision will help pave the path for additional private coverage of this product. With focus in recent years by large companies on corporate wellness, we hope to see more corporate coverage policies such as this one in the future. Together the Academy Medical contract and Care Plus coverage decisions provide a springboard for the sales strategy of our ReShape balloon. Our team's primary focus is on opening new accounts and of course, increasing sales which are both driven by educating the potential physician customers and patients who can benefit from our product. Our team has implemented targeted awareness campaigns to educate both, the DoD and the telecomm corporate employees that the ReShape balloon is a covered benefit for them in addition to promoting the clinical results and the unique benefits of our products to all potential physician and patient customers. Internationally, the ReShape balloon is approved and we have established distribution in Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, the UAE, and most recently, in Saudi Arabia where we just received approval by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Saudi Food & Drug Authority. We sell our balloons employing 3 distributors through which approximately 8 representatives have been trained. Congruent with our Saudi Arabian approval, we have just recently received an initial stocking order for one of the largest surgical distributors, from one of the largest surgical distributors in Middle East, [indiscernible] Medical. You might recall that this same distributor also placed a significant order in December to support increased demand for the ReShape balloon from a leading hospital customer in Dubai. Obesity in the Middle East region has been estimated to be twice the worldwide rate of 30% and is projected to continue to grow. In the UAE alone, over 5,000 weight loss surgeries were performed in 2015. We are pleased that our balloon has been a technology of choice to help reduce obesity in this region. On the clinical front, through the ReShape balloon, we recently announced the results of two studies that support our product as a safe and effective option for weight loss. First, in November, results of a multi-center study were presented at the Obesity Week Conference 2017. Mean weight loss for 240 patients in the study with 120 days or more of treatment was 24.3 pounds, representing 10.5% of initial body weight. The study concluded that our balloon is safe and effective for weight loss in appropriate patients and that gastric ulceration, deflations, pancreatitis and early retrievals for intolerance occur infrequently. Additionally, earlier this month we are pleased to announce results of a real world safety and efficacy study that was published in the journal of clinical gastroenterology and hepatology. This physician sponsored study collected data on 202 adults at two academic centers and 5 private practices in which all patients paid for the ReShape balloon procedure and follow-up visits out of pocket. All patients had the ReShape balloon inserted for weight loss therapy and the balloon was removed from each patient after six months. Patients also received counseling on lifestyle modifications focused on diet and exercise. Mean percent total body weight loss for patients in this study was 11.4% and 14.7% at 6 and 12 months respectively. Practioners were looking more and more real world results to drive technology decisions and the results of both of these studies are very compelling. We believe that these results support ReShape as the best inter-gastric balloon in the market. Turning to vBloc, I'm pleased to report that the backorder supplier issue that we discussed on the third quarter call is fully resolved and vBloc manufacturing is back on-track. As such, we have made good progress in our previously announced vBloc Now program; our company subsidized program that we believe will provide us with real world published data on vBloc to help support reimbursement. We now have 120 patients implanted with 5 more scheduled over the next few weeks at which point the vBloc Now Program will be completely enrolled. We then expect early data on these patients to be available during the second half of 2018 and our plan is then to present this data to payers to support future reimbursement of vBloc therapy. As discussed earlier, we are excited to expand our agreement with Academy Medical for vBloc adding over 400 contracted DoD facilities. Academy will now distribute vBloc to both VA and DoD facilities. With these agreements in place, our sales strategy for vBloc is to focus primarily on marketing and selling to patients within the VA and DoD where the devices are under contract and can be paid-for for qualified patients. On the clinical front of vBloc in November early, results of 35 vBloc therapy patients in a real world setting were the subject of a poster presentation at Obesity Week 2017. Of the 28 patients who had reached 9 month follow-up at the time of the presentation, average BMI dropped from 41 to 36, mean initial body weight loss was 12%, and there were no serious complications. The presentation concluded that the short-term use of vBloc therapy can achieve significant meaningful weight loss with minimal complications in severely obese people in a real world setting. Our third product is our laparoscopic non-anatomy altering implantable device that is designed to enable weight loss in stomach preservation. The reshaped vest restricts stomach volume without cutting, stapling or removing the stomach. In a pilot study of 16 patients, early clinical results showed durable weight loss in excess of 85% excess weight loss in one year. These favorable results were presented at the ASMBS Obesity Week Conference at the end of 2017, as well as last month at the Minimally Invasive Surgery Symposium of MISS Conference is Las Vegas, and most recently, at the World Consensus Conference in India. We recently received approval from the CE authority to initiate a company sponsored trial that is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the ReShape Vest for CE mark approval. The gastric vest trial is a single-ARM perspective multi-center trial that will seek to enroll upto 85 subjects who will be followed for 2 years. Our primary endpoint which is percent total body weight loss will be assessed at 12 months with results used to support our application for CE marking. We have selected Medpace full service clinical research organization with strong presence in Europe and extensive experience managing obesity clinical trials to oversee the management of the vest trail. Site identification and qualification has started and we expect enrollment to begin this summer. We anticipate CE mark approval of the vest within 2 years. We plan to meet with the FDA in the next few months to gain additional insight regarding our proposed pivotal trial to support U.S. approval of the ReShape Vest. We anticipate submitting our IDE for the vest in the second half of 2018 to support enrollment initiation in the U.S. trial. After reviewing the integration of our two acquisitions from 2017, and as part of our previously announced cost reduction program, we made the decision to concentrate our sales and marketing efforts on areas that are expected to directly support the sales in eventual [ph] reimbursement of our products. We spent much of the fourth quarter of 2017 focused on cross training of our sales reps, so if they are well positioned to sell both, the ReShape balloon and ReShape vBloc to bariatric surgeons and GI doctors. Our current salesforce of 8 reps who are complemented by two field clinical representatives are now responsible for covering their 8 territories with both vBloc and balloon products. The reps reside in the large population areas and are focused on going after the high volume accounts. We believe that our sales force is the right size to support our current level of sales and we will continue to assess and align this organization as we grow. We also viewed our acquisition of ReShape Medical as an opportunity to expand our presence outside the United States and to drive expansion into international markets with a need for products to address obesity as high. As discussed earlier, we have established a presence in the Middle East and plan to continue to increase our footprint outside the U.S. in 2018. We were very pleased with our results during the fourth quarter, particularly given that they were in the midst of transition, integration and training. We sold 308 balloons during the quarter and we also experienced strong interest in our vBloc Now program including 13 vBloc Now units during the fourth quarter bringing total vBloc Now implants to 68 in 2017. Combined with strong interest in the first quarter of 2018, total vBloc Now implants are at 120, again with an additional 5 implant scheduled in the next few weeks which will bring that program to completion. I will now turn the call over to Scott Youngstrom, our CFO, who will walk you through our integration and our financial results.
