GASTRIC BALLOON REMOVAL

The gastric balloon is a temporary weight-loss device designed to remain in the stomach for several months. After fulfilling its purpose of helping patients adapt to healthier eating habits and achieve significant weight reduction, it must be safely removed. In certain cases, early removal may be necessary if the patient experiences discomfort or other medical indications arise.

Gastric balloon removal is performed endoscopically, under anesthesia, by a specialized surgeon. The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and typically requires only a short recovery time. Patients benefit from professional medical supervision, ensuring the transition toward long-term weight management through lifestyle changes and continued follow-up care.
