Endoscopic Stomach Balloon:
The endoscopic stomach balloon involves placing a silicone balloon via an oral endoscope in just ten minutes. It is then filled with a saline solution, occupying a large space in the stomach. As a result, the patient with severe obesity feels full more quickly, leading to weight loss.
Many people opt for the stomach balloon for weight loss due to its numerous benefits, primarily to eliminate the risks of severe obesity, such as:
- High blood pressure
- Heart diseases
