What is a gastric balloon?
A gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that involves placing a silicone balloon inside the stomach. The balloon takes up space in the stomach, leading to a feeling of fullness and reduced food intake. This helps patients achieve significant weight loss by promoting portion control and healthy eating habits.
Elipse Balloon
The Elipse Balloon is a cutting-edge, swallowable gastric balloon that does not require endoscopy or anesthesia for placement or removal. The procedure is performed in a comfortable outpatient setting and takes approximately 20 minutes. The balloon is placed by swallowing a capsule containing the deflated balloon, which is then filled with a sterile solution through a thin tube. Once filled, the tube is gently removed, leaving the balloon in the stomach. After approximately 4 months, the balloon automatically deflates and is naturally passed through the digestive system.
The Elipse Balloon offers several advantages:
- Non-surgical: No endoscopy or anesthesia is required for placement or removal.
- Convenient: The procedure is quick and performed on an outpatient basis.
- Effective: Patients can achieve significant weight loss during the 4-month treatment period.
- Safe: The Elipse Balloon has been extensively tested and approved by regulatory authorities.
Allurion Balloon
The Allurion Balloon is another non-surgical gastric balloon option that involves swallowing a capsule containing the deflated balloon. Unlike the Elipse Balloon, the Allurion Balloon is filled with a colored solution to aid in early detection in case of deflation. Once the balloon is in place, it is filled with a sterile fluid through a thin tube. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and takes around 20 minutes.
Key benefits of the Allurion Balloon include:
- Non-surgical: No endoscopy or anesthesia is required for placement or removal.
- Fast and efficient: The procedure is quick and performed on an outpatient basis.
- Continuous monitoring: The colored solution helps detect any potential balloon deflation.
- Comprehensive support: Patients receive dietary and behavioral support throughout the treatment period.
