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.
