Gastric Balloon:

A Non-Surgical Weight Loss Option 

What Is a Gastric Balloon? 
A gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that involves placing a soft, silicone balloon in the stomach to occupy space and promote a feeling of fullness. The balloon remains in place for 6 months, during which patients follow a structured diet and exercise program to achieve significant weight loss. 

Why Choose a Gastric Balloon? 

• Non-Surgical: No incisions or anesthesia required. 

• Effective Weight Loss: Patients typically lose 10-15% of their total body weight. 

• Temporary and Reversible: The balloon is removed after 6 months, making it a good option for those not ready for permanent surgery. 

• Boosts Motivation: Helps patients adopt healthier habits during the balloon period. 

Who Can Benefit from a Gastric Balloon? 

• Individuals with a BMI of 30-40 who are not ready for surgery. 

• Those looking for a non-invasive weight loss solution. 

• People who need to lose weight before undergoing other medical procedures.
