The Gastric Balloon
A temporary, non-surgical tool to kickstart your weight loss journey.
Start Your Journey
A Simple, Non-Surgical Procedure
The Gastric Balloon is a revolutionary, non-surgical weight loss procedure. It involves placing a soft, durable balloon inside the stomach, which is then filled with a sterile saline solution. The entire process is done endoscopically (via the mouth) and typically takes only 20-30 minutes under mild sedation.
Once in place, the balloon partially fills the stomach, creating a feeling of fullness (satiety) much more quickly after eating small meals. This makes it easier to control portion sizes and adhere to a healthy diet. The balloon remains in the stomach for approximately 6 months before it is removed in another simple endoscopic procedure.
Key Advantages of the Gastric Balloon
This procedure offers unique benefits for those seeking a non-permanent solution.
Non-Surgical
No incisions, no stitches, and no permanent changes to your digestive system.
Temporary & Reversible
The balloon is a temporary tool, removed after 6 months, giving you a fresh start.
Fast Recovery
Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days after the procedure.
