Gastric Balloon Procedure
A Non-Surgical, Effective Solution for Weight Loss
At BetterYou Surgical, we understand that not everyone wants or needs surgery to achieve meaningful weight loss. The Gastric Balloon procedure offers a safe, non-surgical option for patients seeking real results — without permanent changes to the stomach or intestines.
💊 What Is a Gastric Balloon?
A gastric balloon, also called an intragastric balloon, is a soft, silicone device that is temporarily placed in your stomach to help you feel full sooner and eat less. The procedure is completely non-surgical — no incisions or stitches are required. Once in place, the balloon partially fills your stomach, allowing you to feel satisfied after smaller meals and helping you adopt healthier eating habits.
🔍 How the Procedure Works
- The balloon is inserted through the mouth using a thin, flexible endoscope while you are under mild sedation. The process takes about 20–30 minutes and you can typically go home the same day.
- After placement, the balloon is filled with a sterile saline solution to achieve the right level of fullness. It remains in place for approximately 6 months, after which it is gently removed in a similar quick, non-surgical procedure.
✅ Benefits of the Gastric Balloon
- No surgery, no incisions, no scars
- Safe, reversible, and quick recovery
- Feel full faster and eat smaller portions
- Average weight loss of 20–50 pounds over 6 months
- Helps reset long-term eating habits for lasting results
