Gastric Balloon

Gastric Balloon is a non surgical weight loss treatment designed to help individuals with obesity or overweight conditions achieve significant results and improve their overall health. The procedure involves placing a soft, expandable balloon inside the stomach, which is then filled with saline solution to reduce available space for food. This allows patients to feel full sooner, control portion sizes, and reduce calorie intake effectively.

At our clinic, each patient receives a customized Gastric Balloon treatment plan, starting with a comprehensive medical assessment. This ensures that the procedure is safe, tailored to the individual’s needs, and supported by a long term weight management strategy. Our method combines medical expertise with continuous follow up care to encourage lasting success.

If you have been unable to maintain a healthy weight despite diet and exercise, Gastric Balloon may offer a safe and effective alternative. Our medical team is ready to address your questions, review your suitability, and guide you through every stage of the treatment process.

Before & After Bariatric Surgery

Who Should Consider Gastric Balloon?

Gastric Balloon is generally recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) between 27 and 35 who may not qualify for bariatric surgery but still require a medical weight loss intervention. It can also be an option for patients seeking a temporary, non surgical method to reduce weight before other planned procedures. This treatment is best suited for those who have tried traditional weight loss methods without achieving lasting success.

Candidates should be ready to commit to healthy eating habits and regular physical activity both during and after the Gastric Balloon placement. A thorough medical evaluation is conducted to confirm eligibility, ensuring the treatment is safe and effective. Gastric Balloon is not a permanent solution, but when combined with lifestyle changes and medical follow up, it can lead to meaningful and sustained weight loss results.

Your Path from Preparation to Recovery

Stage	What to Expect
Pre operative Assessment	A full medical evaluation, including consultation, health history review, and basic tests to confirm suitability for the gastric balloon procedure.
Balloon Placement	The balloon is gently inserted into the stomach via an endoscopic procedure under light sedation, then filled to create a feeling of fullness.
Adjustment & Monitoring	Regular check ups to monitor tolerance, adjust dietary guidance, and ensure the balloon is working effectively for weight management.
Balloon Removal & Follow up	After the planned treatment period, the balloon is removed endoscopically. Continued nutritional support and lifestyle coaching are provided to maintain results.

Gastric balloon is a non surgical weight loss procedure that involves placing a silicone balloon into the stomach. The balloon partially fills the stomach, reducing food intake and helping patients feel full faster. This procedure is ideal for patients seeking a less invasive alternative to surgery.

How Long Does Gastric Balloon Last

Most gastric balloons remain in the stomach for 6 to 12 months. Some specialized balloons are designed to stay for up to 12 months. After removal, maintaining healthy eating habits is essential to prevent weight regain.

Does Gastric Balloon Really Work

Gastric balloons can help patients lose 10 to 20 percent of their excess weight during the treatment period. Success depends on following dietary guidelines, engaging in regular exercise, and participating in behavioral therapy programs.

How Painful Is A Gastric Balloon

Patients may experience mild discomfort, nausea, or bloating during the first few days after placement. Symptoms are generally temporary and manageable with medication. Compared to surgical procedures, pain levels are much lower.

How Many Kg Can You Lose With A Gastric Balloon

Weight loss varies among patients, but most individuals lose between 8 to 15 kilograms during the balloon period. Results depend on lifestyle changes, adherence to diet, and physical activity.

Life After Gastric Balloon

Adapting to life with a gastric balloon involves dietary changes, portion control, and monitoring for any discomfort. Patients are encouraged to follow structured meal plans and maintain an active lifestyle.

How Do You Sleep With A Gastric Balloon

Most patients can sleep normally after the first few days, although some may experience mild reflux or discomfort initially. Adjusting sleeping positions and following dietary guidelines can help reduce symptoms.

Can You Eat Normally With A Gastric Balloon

Patients cannot eat large portions while the balloon is in place. Meals should be smaller, more frequent, and focused on protein and nutrient rich foods. Overeating can cause nausea, vomiting, or discomfort.

What Can I Never Do Again After Gastric Sleeve

Although this refers to sleeve surgery, similar lifestyle restrictions apply after a gastric balloon: avoid overeating, high calorie drinks, and rapid consumption of food. Long term success depends on consistent healthy habits.

What Is Safer, Gastric Sleeve Or Balloon

Gastric balloons are non surgical and generally considered safer with lower risk of complications. Gastric sleeve is a surgical procedure and carries typical surgical risks but may provide greater long term weight loss.

What Are The Disadvantages Of Gastric Balloons

Disadvantages include temporary nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, risk of balloon deflation or migration, and limited weight loss compared to surgical procedures. Commitment to diet and exercise is essential.
