GASTRİC BALLOON
What is a gastric balloon?
Gastric balloon, or stomach balloon, is a non-surgical method used in the treatment of obesity. A silicone balloon placed endoscopically in the stomach is inflated with liquid or air to reduce the volume of the stomach. In this way, the person feels full more quickly with less food and weight loss is achieved.
A gastric balloon is used to support weight loss, especially for people with a body mass index (BMI) between 25-35 who do not want surgery or are unable to undergo surgery. It can also be used to help patients lose weight prior to bariatric surgery and reduce the risks of surgery.
