What is Endoscopic Gastric Balloon?
A gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight loss procedure where a soft silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach and filled with saline. It occupies space, helping you feel full faster and eat less—typically staying in place for 6-12 months while you develop healthier habits.
What to Know Before You Go
Pro Tip:
Use the balloon period to work with a dietitian and establish lifelong healthy habits. The balloon is temporary — your new eating habits should be permanent. Maximum results come from combining the balloon with a structured program.
Insider Note:
The first 3–5 days can be challenging with nausea and discomfort. This is completely normal and subsides. Stock up on anti-nausea medication and plan to rest during this adjustment period.
