6-month gastric balloon in Girona

The 6-month gastric balloon is a weight-loss treatment that involves placing a silicone balloon in the stomach by endoscopy under sedation, without surgery. By taking up part of the stomach's capacity, it increases the feeling of fullness and helps reduce the amount of food you eat. It is essential to combine it with re-education of eating habits in order to maintain your weight after it is removed.

Quick placement

The 6-month gastric balloon is filled with saline solution and reduces the feeling of hunger thanks to the volume it takes up in the stomach, helping to break the hunger-anxiety cycle. It is essential to start a re-education of eating habits at the same time so that, after the balloon is removed, the patient maintains their weight. It is an effective aid for people who are overweight and have not achieved results with diet and exercise alone. See also Gastric balloon in Girona.
