It is essential to simultaneously begin a re-education of eating habits so that after the removal of the balloon, the patient continues to maintain their weight.<\/p>\n

Usually, people can tell, almost instinctively, if they are at a healthy weight. The ideal weight isn't the same for everyone; it's the weight at which you feel good and can live normally.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A good indication of your ideal weight is to calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI): BMI = kg\/cm\u00b2, if your BMI is over 27 and you are unable to lose weight through exercise, the Balloon could be the right treatment for you. We will opt for a 6-month or 12-month balloon after studying the patient's characteristics and the weight they need to lose.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>

  1. Adaptation phase <\/strong>The objectives are adaptation to the ball, avoiding nausea, vomiting and pain, and avoiding dehydration.<\/li>\n
  2. Intragastric balloon stage<\/strong> The objectives are massive weight loss through diet and exercise, establishing new eating and lifestyle habits, and maintaining good health.<\/li>\n
  3. Maintenance stage<\/strong> The objectives are to continue weight loss and maintain the acquired habits. Once the treatment is finished and the appropriate weight is achieved, the patient does not usually regain the lost pounds, as during the time they have been on a diet, they have learned to eat and have acquired correct eating habits. The intragastric balloon is a soft, expandable silicone balloon that is introduced into the stomach through the mouth without the need for surgery and under sedation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>

    For some years now, there has been a 12-month balloon, the world's only adjustable balloon, which offers us more advantages in achieving weight loss goals.<\/p>\n
