Proven Surgical Solution for Long-Term Weight Loss

Gastric Bypass Surgery

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 Gastric Bypass?

Gastric bypass surgery is a weight loss procedure that reduces the size of the stomach and reroutes part of the small intestine. This limits food intake and decreases calorie absorption, leading to substantial and lasting weight loss. In addition to weight reduction, gastric bypass is highly effective in improving or resolving type 2 diabetes, severe obesity, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

  • Have a BMI ≥ 40 or severe obesity-related health conditions
  • Have tried diet, exercise, or medication without lasting success
  • Suffer from type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea
  • Are medically fit for surgery
  • Are committed to long-term lifestyle and dietary changes

A comprehensive evaluation is required to confirm eligibility.
