Gastric balloon surgery, also known as intragastric balloon surgery, is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that involves placing a deflated balloon into the stomach and then inflating it to reduce the amount of food the stomach can hold. This procedure is typically recommended for individuals who are significantly overweight or obese and have not had success with other weight loss methods. The gastric balloon is inserted through the mouth and into the stomach using an endoscope, so no incisions are necessary. Once in place, the balloon is filled with saline solution to expand it and reduce the space available in the stomach. This helps the patient feel full faster and eat less, leading to weight loss. The balloon is usually left in place for about six months and is then removed. Recovery after gastric balloon surgery is relatively quick, with most patients able to return to normal activities within a few days. However, it is common to experience some discomfort, nausea, and vomiting as the body adjusts to the presence of the balloon. Overall, gastric balloon surgery can be an effective option for weight loss for those who have struggled to lose weight through other means.
