The gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight-loss option for people who want a meaningful head start without an operation. A soft silicone balloon is placed in the stomach and filled, gently reducing the space available for food so you feel full sooner and eat less.
How the gastric balloon works
The balloon is introduced during a short, sedated endoscopic procedure — no incisions, no scars. Once in place it partially fills the stomach, which slows gastric emptying and supports smaller, more controlled portions. It typically stays in place for six to twelve months depending on the type used.
Who is it for?
It suits people with a lower body-mass index who are not candidates for — or prefer to avoid — bariatric surgery, as well as those who want to kick-start a longer weight-management journey under medical supervision.
What recovery looks like
Most people return home the same day. The first few days involve adjusting to the balloon with a graduated diet, after which normal daily activity resumes. Ongoing dietitian and clinical support is what turns the procedure into lasting results.
