The gastric balloon, often termed the intragastric balloon, is a non-surgical weight loss solution. It involves placing a soft silicone balloon inside the stomach, which is then filled with saline. This reduces stomach space, helping users feel full faster and aiding in portion control.
Ideal for those with a BMI between 28 and 40, the gastric balloon offers a middle-ground between lifestyle changes and invasive surgeries. It’s especially beneficial for individuals who’ve tried other weight loss methods without success.
However, it’s not for everyone. At Brisbane General & Obesity Surgery, we evaluate each patient’s unique needs to determine if the gastric balloon is the right choice.
The gastric balloon procedure is a minimally invasive intervention, eliminating the need for surgical incisions.
Post-procedure, patients typically experience a swift recovery. While mild discomfort or nausea can occur, these sensations usually dissipate quickly. Our dietitians will guide you from a liquid-only diet, transitioning to soft foods, and eventually back to regular meals. To ensure your well-being and monitor your progress, regular check-ups with Dr. Lim, Dr Wong and our team are integral. After about six months, the balloon is deflated and carefully removed.
With the growing interest in non-surgical weight loss options, the gastric balloon procedure is becoming a preferred choice for many. Coupled with a balanced diet and active lifestyle, it can pave the way to meaningful weight reduction by creating a honeymoon period to adopt healthier lifestyle measures and routines.
But the success of the procedure doesn’t solely hinge on the method – it’s about the expertise backing it. The supportive multidisciplinary team at Brisbane General & Obesity Surgery led by Dr Jason Wong and Dr Aaron Lim help you to achieve your best from the procedure.
