Discover Effective Weight Loss with Gastric Balloons

Gastric balloons offer a non-surgical weight-loss solution for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or more who have struggled to lose weight through other methods.
 

Understanding Gastric Balloons

The most common type of gastric balloon, such as Orbera, Lax Ball, or Spatz, is placed orally using an endoscope and is typically removed after 6-12 months. This non-invasive method leaves no scars and can result in weight loss of up to three times more than what is achievable through exercise and diet alone.
 

The Procedure

Dr. Diya specializes in the use of the FDA-approved intragastric balloon systems, made from durable and soft silicone. The balloon is inserted into the stomach and inflated to occupy space, promoting adjustment to smaller portion sizes. The simple in-office procedure, taking approximately 20 minutes, involves mild sedation and a brief two-hour recovery period before most patients can return home.
 

Post-Procedure Support

Following the six-month period, the balloon is removed using an endoscope. Subsequently, a psychologist and dietitian will provide guidance to support your weight-loss journey and help you maintain your new lifestyle habits.
