Description

The intragastric balloon is a saline-filled silicone balloon that is placed in your stomach to help reduce weight since it acts on satiety hormones making the patient feel full sooner than usual, thus reducing food intake and causing weight loss.

The treatment is supplemented by a healthy habits and food plan.

The intragastric balloon is not a surgical procedure, yet it acts similarly to restrictive surgeries There are different types of gastric balloons. The intragastric balloon is placed in your stomach in a 20- or 30-minute endoscopic procedure. It is a simple procedure performed under local anaesthesia on an outpatient basis or day hospital. After six to twelve months, the stomach balloon is carefully removed in a similar way.
