What is the Gastric Balloon Procedure?

The gastric balloon procedure is a medical treatment where an inflatable balloon is inserted into the stomach using a fine endoscope. The balloon is filled with a saline solution, occupying space in the stomach to reduce food intake and promote a feeling of fullness, aiding in gradual weight loss.

Benefits of the Gastric Balloon Procedure

​

• Non-Surgical: A non-invasive procedure that eliminates the risks associated with traditional surgeries.
• Effective Results: Helps achieve significant weight loss, improving heart health, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels.
• Quick Procedure: The balloon is inserted in just 20-30 minutes using an endoscope.
• Behavioral Support: Encourages healthier eating habits and sustained weight-loss results.

How is the Procedure Performed?

At Noor Al Mamzar Medical Center, the gastric balloon procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. A fine endoscope is used to insert the empty balloon into the stomach. Once in place, the balloon is inflated with a saline solution and left in the stomach for 6-12 months, depending on the treatment plan.

Our medical team provides detailed pre-procedure guidelines, including:

​

Fasting: Patients must fast for 8-12 hours before the procedure.

Medication Adjustment: Inform the doctor about all medications being taken; some may need to be stopped to avoid potential interactions.

Comprehensive Testing: Thorough medical evaluations are conducted to ensure patient health and readiness for the procedure.

Post-Procedure Care and Guidelines

After the gastric balloon procedure, the following instructions are recommended to ensure treatment success and maintain overall health:

Small Meals: The balloon reduces appetite; consuming small, regular meals is ideal.

Avoid Fatty Foods: Stay away from high-fat foods to prevent digestion issues.

Medical Follow-Ups: Regular check-ups at Noor Al Mamzar Medical Center ensure treatment success and track weight loss progress.
