Reversible temporary or permanent procedures

It is a procedure without surgery (endoscopically/swallow able pill) indicated for patients who are either obese/overweight or have failed dieting attempts or unfit for surgery. The balloon partially fills the stomach and limits food intake, it gives you a feeling of satiety, making it easier to change eating habits & as a consequence, lose weight.

On average people lose between 20 and 30% of their excess weight with a gastric balloon but the amount of weight you lose and maintain will depend on how closely you follow your diet and adopt long-term lifestyle changes including regular exercise. However, the amount of weight lost by each patient will vary depending on an individual’s circumstance.
