Gastric balloon

A gastric balloon – sometimes also called an intragastric balloon – is a procedure aimed at those wishing to lose weight. It works by reducing the size of the stomach and limiting the amount of food it can hold, meaning the patient feels fuller even after very small meals. This is one way of losing weight without the need for surgery.
