Details about the procedure

Gastric balloon – is a procedure in which a small soft silicone balloon filled with saline solution or other suitable materials is inserted into the stomach. The goal of the gastric balloon is to occupy space in the stomach, helping the patient feel fuller faster and reducing the amount of food they can consume.

The procedure for placing a gastric balloon is typically done endoscopically, meaning through the mouth and esophagus, without the need for surgical incisions. The balloon is placed in the stomach and filled with saline solution, after which it remains there for a certain period of time, usually several months to a year.

The gastric balloon is intended for temporary use and is usually removed through an endoscopic procedure after achieving the desired results or at the end of its designated usage period. Patients may need to follow a special diet and exercise regimen while the balloon is in the stomach to maximize its effectiveness.

The gastric balloon can be considered as an adjunctive tool for weight loss in patients with obesity or excess weight who cannot achieve sustainable weight loss through other methods. However, before undergoing the procedure, the patient should undergo a thorough examination and consultation with a medical specialist to assess the benefits and risks of using a gastric balloon in their specific case.
