Gastric Balloon

Gastric Balloon in Alwarpet, Chennai

Apollo Gastric Balloon Treatment is a non-surgical weight loss solution that is revolutionizing the healthcare domain. A soft-silicon balloon is temporarily placed inside your stomach, partially filling the space. As a result, you will feel satiated by consuming limited amounts of food, and that too for a prolonged time. The effective weight loss program will reduce your hunger rate so that you can take control of your dietary choices and portion sizes.

What are the steps

Traditionally, gastric balloons have to be properly positioned and removed using an endoscopic medical procedure with the requirements of anesthesia. However, Apollo Gastric Balloon is an easily swallowed pill that will be naturally secreted after a few weeks. This gastric balloon treatment can be done during an OPD.

The steps involved in this weight loss approach are:

Step 1: During the outpatient visit, you will swallow the capsule that contains a soft, deflated balloon with a thin tube.

Step 2: Once you have swallowed, the capture will enter your stomach, and the specialist will use the placement tube to fill the balloon with 500-700 mLs of saline, a solution of salt, and water.

Step 3: Upon filling the balloon, the specialist gently extracts the tube, and you will be on your way to your daily routine.

Eligibility of Apollo Gastric Balloon

Apollo Gastric Balloon Treatment offers endless benefits to people. However, it may not be right for everyone. The approach is recommended for individuals who are 16 years old and over and:

• Have a high BMI rate (Body Mass Index) between 30 to 40

• Want to shed some weight before a surgical operation to reduce the risk involved.

• Cannot lose desired weight with dieting, exercise, and lifestyle alone.

• Have severe health ailments such as diabetes, sleep apnea, joint pain, hypertension, and depression due to obesity.

Recovery time

The recovery time for a gastric balloon procedure for weight loss is relatively short (1-2) days compared to more invasive weight loss surgeries. A gastric balloon is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure used to help individuals lose weight.

What are risks?

It's important to note that most of these risks are relatively rare, and the majority of people who undergo gastric balloon placement experience successful weight loss with minimal complications. However, individuals considering a gastric balloon should be thoroughly evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider to determine their eligibility for the procedure and to discuss the potential risks and benefits. Few of side effects are Nausea and Vomiting, Gastric Discomfort and Gastric Ulceration or Erosion.
