The Gastric Balloon is a soft, flexible silicone device that is temporarily placed inside the stomach to help individuals who are overweight or obese lose weight in a safe and controlled manner. The balloon is inserted through a minimally invasive, non-surgical endoscopic procedure, typically performed under sedation, and does not require incisions or prolonged hospitalization.
Once in place, the balloon occupies space in the stomach, creating an early feeling of fullness or satiety during meals. This allows the person to significantly reduce the amount of food consumed, making it easier to adopt healthier and more sustainable eating habits over time.
Quick placement: It is inserted through the mouth and filled with saline solution. The entire procedure takes approximately 20 minutes and does not require hospitalization.
Reduced appetite: By occupying space in the stomach, it helps decrease food intake and control hunger.
Visible results: It can help you lose between 10 and 15 kg over a period of 6 months, depending on your eating habits and physical activity.
It is placed without surgery, through an endoscopic procedure that takes about 15 to 20 minutes, under sedation.
