Intragastric Balloon

Non-Surgical Support for Effective Weight Loss

The intragastric balloon is a safe, temporary, and non-surgical weight loss solution designed to help you feel full faster, control appetite, and kick-start long-term lifestyle changes.

What Is an Intragastric Balloon?

An intragastric balloon is a soft, expandable balloon placed inside the stomach using a simple endoscopic procedure. Once inserted, the balloon is filled with saline or air, partially occupying the stomach and creating an early feeling of fullness. This helps reduce food intake, control appetite, and support gradual weight loss. The balloon is temporary and typically removed after 6 to 12 months, serving as a tool to initiate healthier eating habits.
