Types of Gastric Balloon:
- Endoscopic Balloon: The Endoscopic Balloon is inserted into the stomach through a thin, flexible tube (endoscope) via the mouth, without the need for incisions. The balloon is temporary. The endoscopic balloon can be placed for a period of 12 months and hence offers larger weight-loss than the Swallowable Capsule Balloon. This kind of balloon requires removal post the patient’s weight loss goal has been achieved.
- Swallowable Gastric Balloon: The Swallowable Gastric Balloon is an innovative and patient-friendly approach to non-surgical weight loss. The Swallowable Balloon is ingested in capsule form and then inflated with water using a thin tube, all while comfortably positioned in the stomach.
The Swallowable Gastric Balloon eliminates the need for endoscopy or sedation, offering a more straightforward and less invasive experience.
After its 3 month life, the balloon disintegrates and passes through the digestive system and hence does not require the removal procedure/intervention.
