Bariatric Gastric Balloon Treatment
Bariatric Gastric Balloon Treatment
Gastric Balloon Treatment is a minimally invasive, non-surgical weight loss procedure designed to help individuals struggling with obesity or excess weight. The treatment involves placing a soft, expandable balloon into the stomach through the mouth using an endoscope. Once in place, the balloon is filled with a sterile solution, partially filling the stomach and creating a feeling of fullness. This helps reduce hunger, control portion sizes, and limit food intake, making it easier for patients to follow a healthy diet. Gastric Balloon is ideal for those who have not achieved successful weight loss through diet and exercise
