What is the Gastric Balloon
The gastric balloon, or intragastric balloon, is a soft, silicone device designed to aid weight loss. Inserted directly into the stomach via a non-surgical endoscopic procedure, it helps reduce food intake by occupying space in the stomach, thus fostering early satiety and less caloric intake. Specifically targeted at individuals who find diet and exercise insufficient for their weight management, this procedure is gaining favor for its simplicity and efficacy.
