About the gastric balloon
An intragastric balloon will be inserted to aid in weight control by partially filling the stomach and slowing down food emptying. It creates a longer-lasting feeling of fullness and helps control portion size. However, the balloon itself is not a permanent solution for obesity treatment but works in combination with dietary and lifestyle changes.
How does the procedure take place?
The balloon is made of soft silicone and is inserted into the stomach during an upper endoscopy. The procedure is non-surgical and lasts up to 30 minutes. Insertion and removal are performed under anesthesia.
What is the expected outcome?
By following an appropriate diet and an active lifestyle, it is possible to lose an average of 0.5–1 kg per week or about 15% of body weight during the program. The most rapid weight loss usually occurs in the first months, after which the pace slows down, and the focus shifts to weight stabilization and maintaining long-term results.
