Gastric baloon is a temporary treatment method used for weight loss. With this method, a balloon that can inflate is placed into the patient’s stomach with an endoscopic procedure. The balloon partially fills the stomach, allowing the person to eat less and get full quicker . This helps to promote weight loss.
Gastric Baloon is often done to overweight or obese people, when other weight loss methods such as diet and exercise are not effective or support weight loss. The balloon usually stays in the stomach between 6 months and 1 year, and
during this time patients are supported by a healthy diet and lifestyle change under the supervision of a dietician or doctor.
Gastric Baloon Is Not A Surgical Procedure
The gastric balloon is not a surgical procedure and does not require hospitalization. The insertion process is usually performed endoscopic, that is, with the help of an endoscope, the stomach is reached by mouth and the balloon is placed inside the stomach. The balloon is usually inflated with a liquid or filled with air.
