INTRAGASTRIC BALLON

Intragastric Ballons in conjunction with a supervised diet and behavior modification program can help you achieve the health and aesthetic benefits associated with weight loss.

More than 25 years of experience with intragastric balloons have reported modest successful weight loss and patient satisfaction. Yet, current intragastric balloons have not received worldwide acclaim nor have they gained popularity.

The reason is twofold:

Current balloons are not adjustable and lose their effect after 3 months; and current balloons must be removed at 6 months.
