Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, helps patients lose significant weight by changing how the stomach and digestive system work. These procedures either reduce stomach size or bypass a portion of the intestine, limiting food intake and calorie absorption. Beyond surgery, non-surgical options like the gastric balloon are available for patients who prefer minimally invasive treatment. A gastric balloon is a soft, expandable silicone device placed in the stomach endoscopically to reduce hunger and help patients feel full faster. Bariatric procedures and gastric balloons are proven to improve obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint pain, leading to a healthier, more active life.
