What is Gastric Balloon?
In modern times the majority of people prefer having junk food or ready to cook food because of work pressure and less availability of time. Studies have shown that increased intake of these type of foods is the leading factor causing obesity or an increase in weight.
There are different methods through which one can reduce their extra weight. The latest one is the procedure of the Gastric Balloon in India. The gastric balloon helps to reduce weight by decreasing the hunger of the person. This procedure helps to feel full even if one is having very small meal portions. This weight loss treatment helps to reduce the excess weight without any invasive surgery. The gastric balloon is also chosen by those overweight patients who have other serious health problems and the first requirement of treating these problems is to reduce weight. The most important benefit of the gastric balloon is the avoidance of invasive surgery and various risks associated with the surgery.
How It Works?
The gastric balloon is a little silicon pouch that is introduced through the patient’s mouth to the stomach endoscopically. It is a painless procedure. The balloon is inserted using the saline liquid. The patient feels full because of its presence and intake of food decreases which leads to weight loss. The placement time of the balloon in different patients vary but it would usually take 20 to 30 minutes, after which the patient is observed by the physician for some time and then can return home.
Normally after 6 months the gastric balloon is removed and deflated as there is an increased risk of balloon perforation and deterioration after this point. On an average people opting for the gastric balloon procedure lose between 20% and 30% of excess weight (any weight over the BMI of 30). However, the weight loss of different patients would vary depending on individual circumstances.
