Non-Surgical Weight Loss Method: Gastric Balloon

Are you struggling to reach your ideal weight with diet and exercise alone? Gastric balloon is a non-surgical method, allowing you to feel full with less food. In simple words, a silicone balloon is placed into the stomach endoscopically and inflated with saline water. This limits the amount of food you can eat, helping you consume fewer calories and lose weight effectively.
