Gastric Balloon

Non-Surgical. Effective. Transformative

What Is a Gastric Balloon?

A gastric balloon is a soft silicone device placed inside the stomach to limit its capacity. By creating a feeling of fullness with smaller meals, it helps patients lose weight effectively—without the need for surgery.

Why Is It Done?

The gastric balloon is recommended for individuals struggling with obesity who want a safe, less invasive alternative to bariatric surgery. It works by reducing portion sizes, controlling hunger, and supporting weight loss when combined with diet and lifestyle modifications.
