Gastro Balloon Procedure
The Gastro Balloon is a non-surgical weight loss treatment that involves the placement of a soft balloon in the stomach. The balloon is inflated to occupy space, which helps patients feel fuller sooner and eat less. This procedure is designed for individuals struggling with obesity or those who have not been successful with traditional weight loss methods. The procedure is minimally invasive, and the balloon is temporarily placed in the stomach to help jumpstart weight loss, improve overall health, and provide long-term benefits when combined with a healthy lifestyle and diet.
