Product Description
Intragastric Balloon for Weight Loss:

The Intragastric Balloon is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that helps individuals struggling with obesity. This method involves placing a balloon inside the stomach, which is then inflated to occupy space, making the stomach feel fuller with less food. This leads to reduced calorie intake, ultimately supporting significant weight loss.

Procedure Overview: The procedure is minimally invasive and typically performed under mild sedation or local anesthesia. The balloon, usually deflated, is inserted into the stomach through the mouth using an endoscopic procedure. Once placed, the balloon is filled with saline to a size that reduces the stomach's capacity. The procedure typically takes about 20-30 minutes and does not require an overnight hospital stay.

Benefits of Intragastric Balloon:

Significant Weight Loss: The balloon induces early satiety, which helps individuals consume fewer calories and achieve substantial weight loss over several months.
Non-Surgical: Unlike other weight loss surgeries, the Intragastric Balloon does not require any incisions or stitches.
Short Recovery Time: Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days, though some may experience mild discomfort.
Effective for Obesity Management: It is ideal for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30-40, or those who have not succeeded with diet and exercise alone.
Risks and Considerations: While the Intragastric Balloon offers a promising weight loss solution, it may come with some risks. Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort, especially during the first few days post-insertion. In rare cases, the balloon may deflate or cause complications such as ulcers or gastric perforation. Therefore, careful monitoring by a healthcare professional is crucial throughout the procedure.

Duration and Follow-Up: The Intragastric Balloon is typically kept in place for up to 6 months. After this period, the balloon is removed via another endoscopic procedure. To ensure sustained weight loss, it is essential for patients to follow a comprehensive weight loss program that includes diet, exercise, and behavior modifications.
