The Gastric or Intragastric Balloon is a silicone balloon that is inserted into the stomach through an endoscope, and then it is filled with water occupying the entire space of the gastric cavity. Thus, it automatically produces a feeling of being satiated which helps us to follow a diet facilitating the weight loss as well as long-term maintenance.
The instructions for this technique should always be individualized and will take place after the evaluation by our experts in nutrition and digestive surgery. Our clinic works with the best professionals in endoscopy and in the placement of intragastric balloons. They are specialists from Clínica Merello, located in Valencia, with more than thirty years of experience in dealing with digestive problems and they are also pioneers in the placement of intragastric balloons.
