Endoscopic Gastric Balloon Surgery In Mumbai

Definition / What is this procedure?

This is an endoscopic method of promoting weight loss. A silicon balloon is placed next to the stomach and inflated. For a period of 6 months or a year, the patient is kept on a customised diet planned by our nutritionists. After this period, the balloon is removed through endoscopy. The patient is motivated to maintain his or her new level of fitness through a healthy lifestyle. This weight loss procedure is scarless and is effective for a person who is 10-15 kgs overweight. It is a one-day procedure and the patient can actually go home within two hours.
