Gastric Balloon Surgery is a non-surgical weight-loss procedure that involves placing an intragastric balloon inside the stomach to reduce its capacity. The balloon occupies space in the stomach, helping patients feel full after eating smaller portions of food. As a result, calorie intake is reduced, leading to gradual and controlled weight loss.

The procedure is simple, minimally invasive, and performed on an outpatient basis. The balloon remains in the stomach for 6 to 9 months, depending on the patient’s condition, after which it is safely removed. Gastric Balloon Surgery is considered a less invasive alternative to bariatric surgeries such as gastric sleeve or gastric bypass.

Gastric Balloon Surgery is performed using endoscopic techniques or swallowable capsules, depending on the type of balloon selected. For Orbera and Reshape balloons, an endoscope is used to guide the deflated balloon through the mouth into the stomach. Once in place, the balloon is filled with a sterile saline solution.

For the Obalon method, the balloon is swallowed as a capsule and later inflated with nitrogen gas. The inflated balloon limits stomach capacity, slows digestion, and creates a feeling of fullness. No incisions are made, and specialized medical equipment ensures safe placement and removal of the balloon.

1. Consultation and assessment will be conducted.
2. Local anesthesia will be administered.

4. The balloon will be filled with saline solution or nitrogen gas.
