Gastric Balloon

A gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight-loss procedure in which an inflatable silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach via the mouth and then filled with liquid to occupy part of the stomach, helping you feel full sooner and thus lose weight. However, the balloon is removed in 6 months, so to maintain the weight loss effects for long, patients must refrain from returning to their old lifestyle, otherwise, they can regain the weight.
