What is a Gastric Balloon?

A gastric balloon, or intragastric balloon, is an endoscopic, non-surgical weight loss treatment. A medical balloon is placed inside the stomach and leaves less room for food, so the patient feels full sooner and eats less. The aim is to change eating habits and lose weight.

The intragastric balloon is a popular obesity treatment. It suits people who want to lose weight to improve their quality of life and help prevent certain obesity-related medical conditions.

  • Duration of Treatment | 15-20 Minutes
