Understanding the Gastric Balloon Procedure
The Gastric Balloon is a minimally invasive treatment designed to aid in weight loss by reducing food intake and enhancing portion control. During this procedure, a soft, saline-filled balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth using an endoscopic technique. Once in place, the balloon occupies space in the stomach, promoting a feeling of fullness and encouraging smaller meal portions.
Typically, the balloon remains in place for six months. During this period, patients adopt healthier eating habits, leading to significant weight loss. The procedure requires no incisions, allowing most patients to resume normal activities within a few days.
Advantages of the Gastric Balloon
Unlike other weight loss surgeries, the Gastric Balloon does not require surgery or general anesthesia. The procedure is completed in under an hour, with no hospital stay or extensive recovery time needed. Patients can expect to lose 10-15% of their body weight within the six-month period the balloon is in place. Research indicates that 80% of patients achieve significant weight loss and maintain healthier habits post-procedure.
The Gastric Balloon helps patients feel full faster and remain satisfied longer, naturally reducing calorie intake. This supports sustainable weight loss by improving portion control and discouraging overeating.
