What is a Gastric Balloon?

A gastric balloon is a non-surgical medical device temporarily placed inside the stomach to aid in weight loss. The balloon works by filling a portion of the stomach, reducing the available space for food and consequently helping to decrease food intake and increase the feeling of fullness.

The Gastric Balloon Insertion Procedure:

Consultation and Evaluation: A comprehensive consultation with the doctor is conducted to assess the patient’s suitability for the gastric balloon procedure and to explain expectations and potential risks.
Surgical Insertion: The gastric balloon is inserted through a simple endoscopic procedure, where the balloon is inflated with a special filling fluid.
Post-Insertion Monitoring: The patient is monitored for a period after insertion to ensure no complications arise and to guarantee the effectiveness of the balloon.

Gastric Balloon Removal:

When it is time to remove the gastric balloon, the following steps are taken:

Medical Evaluation: A medical examination is conducted to assess the patient’s condition and determine the appropriateness of removing the balloon.
Removal Procedure: The balloon is easily removed using a specific endoscope, without the need for major surgery.
