Gastric balloon surgery, also known as intragastric balloon or endoscopic balloon placement, is a non-surgical weight loss procedure designed to help people lose weight.
This minimally invasive procedure involves placing a silicone balloon in the stomach, which is then filled with saline solution to occupy space and promote a feeling of fullness.
This guide answers what is a gastric balloon, as well as eligibility criteria, benefits, risks, recovery process, and long-term considerations.
