Intragastric Balloon Weight Loss System
The Intragastric Balloon Weight Loss System is our comprehensive non-surgical program for patients seeking significant, lasting weight loss.
Unlike programs that focus on a single procedure or medication, the Batash Weight Loss Systems™ combine physical restriction, medical weight management, eating psychology, and long-term coaching into one comprehensive, year-long program. Our goal is simple: help you lose the weight—and keep it off.
Who Is This System For?
Have tried multiple diets without lasting success.
Have reached a plateau with GLP-1 medications.
Regained weight after stopping medications.
Struggle with portion control or emotional eating.
Want significant weight loss without traditional surgery.
Whether you're a busy professional, parent, first responder, teenager struggling with obesity, or simply someone ready to regain control of your health, this system was designed with you in mind.
Do you qualify?
Your situation
What it means
BMI between 27 and 53
Your BMI — the ratio between your height and weight — needs to fall between 27 and 53 to be a candidate for our year-long weight-loss system.
BMI over 53
You are not a candidate for the procedure, but we offer our Medical Rx Program instead. Schedule a complimentary consultation and we will walk you through it.
Previous bariatric procedure
If you have had any bariatric surgery or procedure before — gastric sleeve, bypass, band, or an endoscopic sleeve — you are not a candidate for the balloon, ever. Ask us about Resculpt, our revision procedure, which may give you a second chance at weight loss.
Your expected weight loss
Expected weight loss is calculated as a percentage of your total body weight and adjusted according to your goals. No generalizations. At your complimentary consultation we work from your actual numbers — not an average someone else achieved.
Is your BMI over 53?
You can still book a complimentary consultation — just ask for our Medical Rx Program, designed for patients above the BMI range for our endoscopic procedures. Call 718 830 0004, book at batashmedical.com, or DM @stevenbatashmd on Instagram.
The Price of Our Weight Loss Programs
Our comprehensive endoscopic weight loss systems start at $7,200. Pricing varies based on the procedure best suited to your needs and the program options you choose. Each program is designed to provide more than a procedure-it offers a comprehensive approach to achieving and maintaining long term weight loss. All consultations are complimentary.
Expected Results
Every patient is different. Your weight loss depends on your starting weight, goals, medical history, and commitment to the program.
The Three Pillars of Long-Term Success
Most weight-loss programs focus on one solution. We believe obesity is a chronic disease that requires treating multiple factors at the same time. That is why every Batash Weight Loss System™ is built around three essential pillars.
Body
Brain
Behavior
Physical Restriction
Inserted endoscopically
A soft, smooth, silicone balloon is placed in your stomach during a 15-minute non-surgical endoscopic procedure that requires only mild conscious sedation.
Confirm and fill
Dr. Batash lowers a thin, flexible endoscope equipped with a high-definition camera, and the deflated balloon travels down into the stomach through that same endoscope. Once the balloon is in the correct position, it is inflated with saline until it reaches roughly the size of a grapefruit.
Walk out the same day
The balloon then floats freely inside your stomach, taking up almost 80% of its volume — so you feel full quickly, on far less food. Balloon is removed in 6-8 months. Extraction is quick 10 minute procedure with no side effects.
No incisions. Nothing is cut and nothing is removed. The balloon is placed and later removed through the mouth, leaving your natural anatomy untouched.
About the Size of a Grapefruit
Once inflated, the balloon occupies most of the space your meals used to fill. Nothing about your stomach is altered — the balloon simply takes up room, so a small portion registers as a full meal.
The balloon fills roughly 80% of the stomach's volume without altering the stomach itself — no cutting, no suturing, and no permanent change to your anatomy. Illustrative diagram, not to scale.
Why It Works
Once your stomach is filled with the balloon:
Recovery
One of the biggest advantages of the Intragastric Balloon is the quick recovery.
Procedure Day
Outpatient procedure. Walk out of the center a few hours later. Recover comfortably at home or in a nearby hotel.
Next Day
Return for your follow-up visit. Our team reviews your progress, answers your questions, and provides hydration if needed.
Within 2–3 Days
Most patients return to work and normal daily activities. After your follow-up visit, there are very few activity restrictions.
Medical Weight Management
A smaller stomach doesn't always eliminate cravings. Many patients tell us:
“I’m physically full… but mentally I still want to eat.”
That is because obesity involves much more than stomach size. It is heavily dependent on habits and brain as well.
For appropriate candidates, we use personalized obesity medications and GLP-1 therapies to reduce food noise, improve fullness signals, and support continued weight loss. Every medication plan is individualized.
OnTrack Coaching
Long-term success depends on changing behaviors — not simply shrinking your stomach. Our OnTrack Coaching Program helps you:
We don't believe in perfection. We believe in creating habits you can maintain for life.
Real Patient Results
Thousands of patients have transformed their lives through the Batash Weight Loss Systems™. Many have lost 40–100 pounds or more while improving diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, mobility, energy, and confidence.*
