Gastric balloon

Picture
An intra-gastric balloon is a soft balloon filled with saline that's placed into your stomach using a thin tube passed down the throat.

​The balloon, once inflated, means you will not need or be able to eat as much before you feel full. 

​This non-surgical treatment method can help reduce your portion sizes and help you reach your long-term weight loss goals.

The balloon procedure is only a temporary measure as the balloon is usually left in for a maximum of 12 months.
One of the advantages of having the balloon is that it is a less invasive, non surgical weight loss procedure. Weight loss varies from approximately 10-20kg, sometimes more. Gastric discomfort, nausea and vomiting are unfortunate side effects which common for the first few days following balloon placement but should settle soon after this.
​

It’s important to understand exactly what’s involved in the procedure, including any potential complications and what to expect afterwards. Having said that, this procedure can be successful for those who are willing to make long term consistent changes to their diet and lifestyle following removal of the balloon.
