Best Gastric Balloon Surgery at Quironsalud Hospital in Madrid, Spain

Best Gastric Balloon Surgery at Quironsalud University Hospital in Madrid, Spain

Gastric balloon is a reversible, incision-free, and safe weight loss procedure for obese patients. The concept is simple: a deflated soft silicone gastric balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth, using an endoscope and without the need for surgery, and filled with liquid or air. It reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold, so the patient will feel fuller faster.

Gastric balloon aids weight loss, and it must be used in conjunction with diet, exercise and a behavior modification program. The procedure is useful if you don't meet the criteria for different types of bariatric surgery.

The balloon can be left in place for up to six months, and it is removed in the same way it was placed. Once removed, the stomach — and sometimes the patient's appetite — returns to normal. Should your doctor recommend the use of the balloon for longer than six months, the balloon must be replaced with a new one.
