Overview
About This Service
Our gastric balloon program offers a non-surgical, minimally invasive option for patients seeking effective weight loss. The balloon is inserted endoscopically and filled with saline, reducing hunger and supporting lifestyle changes. This FDA-approved device has helped thousands of patients worldwide achieve significant weight loss.
The gastric balloon works by occupying space in your stomach, creating a feeling of fullness and helping you eat smaller portions. Combined with our comprehensive nutrition and lifestyle counseling program, patients typically lose 10-15% of their total body weight during the 6-month treatment period.
