Frequently Asked Questions
What is a gastric balloon and how does it work for weight loss?
A gastric balloon is a soft, silicone balloon inside the stomach that is placed endoscopically (through your mouth) and filled with saline or gas. This intragastric balloon takes up space in your stomach, helping you feel full faster and eat smaller portions. The balloon for weight loss stays in place for approximately 6 months and works best when combined with a doctor-supervised diet program, lifestyle changes and regular follow-up. It's a non-surgical, temporary option for people who need help controlling their appetite and portion sizes.
Who is a good candidate for an intragastric balloon?
You may be a good candidate for an intragastric balloon if you have a BMI between 27 and 40, have tried diet and exercise without lasting success, and are looking for a non-surgical balloon for weight loss. The gastric balloon is also suitable for people who are not ready for or do not qualify for bariatric surgery, or those who need a medically supervised jump-start to their weight loss journey. Our endo-bariatric doctors will assess your medical history, current health conditions and weight loss goals to determine if a gastric balloon for weight loss is right for you.
How is the gastric balloon procedure performed?
The gastric balloon procedure is a minimally invasive, endoscopic procedure performed under sedation. Your doctor inserts a deflated balloon inside the stomach using an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) through your mouth. Once in place, the intragastric balloon is filled with sterile saline or gas. The entire gastric balloon procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes, and most patients go home the same day after a short observation period. There are no external incisions, making it a safer and faster alternative to traditional weight loss surgery.
How much weight can I expect to lose with a gastric balloon?
Weight loss results with a gastric balloon vary depending on your starting weight, adherence to the diet plan and lifestyle changes. On average, patients lose 10–15% of their total body weight during the 6 months the balloon for weight loss is in place. For example, if you weigh 100 kg, you may lose 10–15 kg. The intragastric balloon is most effective when you work closely with our dietitians, health coaches and endo-bariatric doctors to build sustainable eating and exercise habits that continue even after the balloon is removed.
What are the side effects and risks of a gastric balloon?
Common side effects after gastric balloon placement include nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and acid reflux, especially in the first few days as your body adjusts to the balloon inside the stomach. These symptoms usually improve with medication and dietary adjustments. Serious risks from an intragastric balloon are rare but can include balloon deflation, stomach ulcers, obstruction or, very rarely, perforation. Your endo-bariatric doctor will explain all potential risks, monitor you closely during follow-up visits, and provide a structured support program to ensure safe and effective gastric balloon for weight loss results.
