Intragastric Balloon
Intragastric Balloon Treatment in Pune & Mumbai
An intragastric balloon is a newer kind of weight loss surgery. A saline-filled silicone balloon is placed in your stomach, which helps you lose weight by limiting how much you can eat. It also makes you feel fuller faster.
This procedure is an option if you’re overweight or obese, and diet and exercise haven’t worked for you.
Like other bariatric procedures, an intragastric balloon requires commitment to a healthier lifestyle. You need to make permanent healthy changes to your diet and get regular exercise to help ensure the long-term success of the intragastric balloon procedure.

FAQ'S
An intragastric balloon is a non-surgical, temporary weight loss device placed in the stomach. It occupies space, helping you feel full sooner and eat less, thereby aiding in weight loss. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically performed endoscopically.
By occupying space in the stomach, the intragastric balloon limits food intake and promotes a feeling of fullness. This helps reduce calorie consumption and supports weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle changes.
The procedure typically lasts about 30 minutes, and patients can usually go home the same day after a short recovery period. Most people can resume normal activities within a few days, although some may experience nausea or discomfort initially.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort, especially in the initial days after placement. Serious complications are rare but can include balloon deflation or migration, which may require medical attention.
