INTRA-GASTRIC BALLOON

In this procedure, a balloon is inserted inside the stomach with help of endoscope which is then filled with saline to assist you in weight loss. This limits how much you can eat and creates a sense of satiety early.

Potential Candidates:

 

An intragastric balloon may be an option for you if:

  • It can be an option for people with BMI between 27.5 to 35 (Asian criteria)
  • You’re willing to commit to healthy lifestyle changes, get regular medical follow-up and participate in behavioral therapy
  • Patients who are unfit for Bariatric Surgery may at times opt for it

Advantages over Bariatric Surgery:

  • No cut is involved on abdomen
  • No cutting of stomach or intestine is involved
  • Chances of complications may be less
  • Less hospitalization is likely
  • Chances of malnutrition are less as compared to bypass procedures

Disadvantages over Bariatric Surgery:

  • Weight loss may not be as good
  • Resolution of co-morbidities may not be as good
  • Balloon has to be removed after 6 to 12 months and then anatomy is back to normal. So chances of weight regain may be higher
  • Some patients do not tolerate balloon well and ask to remove it within few days

Other possible risks include ulcers or a hole (perforation) in the stomach wall, which might require surgery to fix.

Results

Balloon inside your stomach can make you feel more full faster than you normally would when eating, which often means you’ll eat less. Balloon slows down the time it takes to empty the stomach and also change levels of hormones that control appetite. Total amount of weight you lose also depends on change in lifestyle, diet and exercise. About 7% to 15% of body weight is lost typical during first six months after balloon placement. Total excess weight loss ranges from 30% to 47% of excess weight.

As with other procedures and surgeries that lead to significant weight loss, the intragastric balloon may help improve or resolve conditions often related to being overweight, including:

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • High BP
  • Heart disease
  • Obstructive sleep apnea
  • Join pain
  • High cholesterol
  • Fatty Liver

I got my friend’s weight loss surgery done at Star Hospital. We were impressed by Dr Ahluwalia’s clarity of thought on weight loss and Bariatric Surgery. We visited some other hospitals before and were always confused as their versions were very different but here we got answers to all our questions in a very clear way and my friend could gather courage to finally get his Bariatric Surgery done and start living a normal life again. Procedure went smooth as was told and we were out out of hospital very next day. Now we regret delaying this for years!
