Stomach (Intragastric Balloon)
Intragastric balloon placement is a weight-loss procedure that involves placing a saline-filled silicone balloon in your stomach. This helps you lose weight by limiting how much you can eat and making you feel fuller faster.
The intragastric balloon procedure may be an option if you have concerns about your weight, and diet and exercise haven't worked for you.
Like other weight-loss procedures, an intragastric balloon requires commitment to a healthier lifestyle. You need to make permanent healthy changes to your diet and get regular exercise to help ensure the long-term success of the procedure.
Bariatric Surgery, colloquially known as obesity surgery, refers to the surgical procedures performed on the digestive system to help patients with more than a normal amount of fat in their bodies regain their health.Tube stomach, gastritis By-Pass, Duodenal Switch, Mini Gastritis By-Pass, Transit Bipartition are the main ones of the bariatric (obesity) surgery operations performed. The aim of all these surgeries is to reduce the stomach capacity of the patients and to get rid of the excess fat that impairs their health. Since all Obesity and Metabolic Surgery operations are performed with closed laparoscopic method, the recovery process of the patients is much faster.
