What Is an Intragastric Balloon?
An intragastric balloon is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that helps patients feel full faster and control portion sizes. A soft, expandable balloon is placed inside the stomach, taking up space and helping reduce food intake. It can be beneficial for those who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. The balloon is temporary and works best when combined with a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and professional weight-management support.

Weight Loss Results with an Intragastric Balloon
A balloon inside your stomach can make you feel more full faster than you normally would when eating, which often means you’ll eat less. The balloon slows down the time it takes to empty the stomach and also changes levels of hormones that control appetite. The total amount of weight you lose also depends on changes 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.
