“A gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight loss device placed in the stomach to promote a feeling of fullness and reduce food intake. The balloon is inserted endoscopically and filled with saline, occupying space in the stomach and helping patients achieve significant weight loss when used alongside a supervised diet and exercise program. Typically, the balloon remains in place for six months, after which it is removed, making it a temporary but effective option for those struggling with obesity.”et, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia.

Once in place, the balloon is filled with saline solution, expanding to occupy space in the stomach. This creates a feeling of fullness, which helps reduce food intake and aids in weight loss. The procedure is non-surgical and typically takes about 20-30 minutes.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What are the potential side effects of the gastric balloon?” tab_id=”1493907969839-d56a3513-eaba”][vc_column_text]Common side effects of the gastric balloon include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and acid reflux, especially during the first few days after the procedure. These symptoms usually subside as the body adjusts to the balloon. In rare cases, more serious complications like balloon deflation, gastric ulcers, or bowel obstruction can occur, necessitating immediate medical attention.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How long does the gastric balloon stay in the stomach, and what happens after it is removed?” tab_id=”1493908008192-79bd0295-b6b8″][vc_column_text]The gastric balloon is designed to stay in the stomach for six months. After this period, it is removed endoscopically in a procedure similar to the insertion. Following the removal, it is crucial for patients to continue with a structured diet and exercise program to maintain the weight loss achieved during the time the balloon was in place. Ongoing support from healthcare providers is often recommended to help sustain long-term weight management.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][vc_empty_space alter_height=”small” hide_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1499238357055{margin-bottom: 0.4rem !important;}”][vc_empty_space alter_height=”small” hide_on_mobile=””][/vc_column][vc_column icons_position=”left”][trx_sc_button type=”default” size=”large” new_window=”” icon=”icon-arrow-right-alt” icon_position=”right” link=”/CONTACTS/” title=”Contact Us”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
