A very, very positive experience at Medicstetics with the 12-month balloon. After 25 years, the balloon remains the least invasive and most effective method for weight loss, with an average of 28 kg lost per patient, significantly improving on the statistics of the 6-month balloon, for which that time is not enough for some patients.
How does the Balloon work?
Drastically reduces the feeling of hunger thanks to the volume it takes up in the stomach.
It slows gastric emptying, keeping blood glucose levels more stable and reducing the feeling of hunger through this mechanism.
Break the vicious hunger-anxiety-hunger cycle.
It is essential to be supervised by our nutrition team throughout the 12 months, to make sure the results are lasting and you avoid regaining weight after the balloon is removed.
Advantages of the 12-month Balloon
This Balloon is adaptable: it allows its size to be modified at any stage of the treatment to improve its effectiveness and achieve greater weight loss. Our medical team decides the best moment to give the balloon more volume and thus overcome the slowdown in the last 6 months of treatment
