An intragastric balloon is a temporary option designed to help patients adjust to smaller portion sizes and adopt healthier eating habits. With lifestyle changes, it supports effective, proven weight loss.

This minimally invasive procedure helps break the cycle of weight loss frustration by creating a feeling of fullness, reducing calorie intake, and setting patients on a path to meaningful weight loss.

How an intragastric balloon is performed

The balloon is placed endoscopically through the mouth during a quick, outpatient procedure. Once in the stomach, it is filled to occupy space and promote satiety.
