Gastric Balloon surgery is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure designed to help you lose weight by decreasing hunger and helping you feel full more quickly. A silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth, then filled with a saline solution, occupying space in the stomach, which reduces the amount of food you can eat. This leads to significant weight loss in the months following the procedure. If you've been struggling with weight loss and traditional diet and exercise methods haven't been successful, Gastric Balloon surgery may be a viable option for you.
The benefits of this surgery go beyond just weight loss. It has been shown to improve or resolve a range of obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and more. Patients typically experience a significant improvement in their quality of life, including increased energy levels, better mobility, and improved self-confidence.
The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and takes approximately 30 minutes. A mild sedative is administered to help you relax, and a numbing agent is sprayed in the back of your throat to minimize discomfort. You will be able to return home the same day.
After the procedure, you may experience some nausea, vomiting or cramping for a few days. A special diet will be recommended for the first few weeks after the procedure, and you will work closely with our team to ensure a successful and healthy weight loss journey.
