GASTRIC BALLOON PLACEMENT
Obesity is a serious health condition linked to diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and reduced quality of life. For patients who struggle with weight management and are not ready or eligible for bariatric surgery, gastric balloon placement offers an effective, non-surgical alternative. The balloon occupies space in the stomach, helping patients control portion sizes and reduce calorie intake.
This procedure is performed endoscopically, meaning no large incisions are required. It is temporary and typically remains in place for several months while patients adopt healthier habits guided by medical supervision. With the combination of medical support and lifestyle changes, gastric balloon placement provides an excellent opportunity to jumpstart weight loss and achieve sustainable results.

This program is recommended for men and women between 18 and 65 years old with severe obesity (BMI over 30) and related health conditions, who are committed to making lifestyle changes to improve their wellbeing.
