Intragastric
Balloon:
A clinically proven, non-surgical approach to weight management — for
individuals who need more than lifestyle changes alone. Weight management isn't
just about willpower — and for many individuals, diet and exercise alone aren't
enough.
What
Is an Intragastric Balloon?
A
temporary, non-surgical tool to support meaningful weight loss. An intragastric
balloon is a soft, saline-filled balloon placed inside the stomach via a brief
endoscopic procedure — no incisions, no surgery. Once in place, it reduces the
stomach's available space, promoting a feeling of fullness with smaller meals
and supporting sustainable dietary changes.
How
it works Placed endoscopically under mild sedation — typically taking less than
30 minutes. Remains in the stomach for 1 year, during which individuals work
alongside a clinical team to develop healthier habits. After 1 year, the
balloon is removed through the same non-surgical process.
Who
it's for Adults with a BMI of 27 and above who have not achieved sufficient
results through diet and exercise alone. Individuals seeking a non-surgical
weight loss intervention before considering more invasive procedures. Those
looking for a medically supervised, structured approach to weight management.
The
balloon is a tool — sustainable results come from the habits built around it.
