What Is A Gastric Balloon?
A gastric balloon is a soft medical device placed in your stomach during a quick, non-surgical endoscopic procedure under mild sedation. It is performed by Dr. Batash, a board-certified gastroenterologist with three decades of experience. The balloon helps you feel full faster, so you eat less while following a doctor-supervised weight loss plan and building healthier habits. It is removed after 6 to 8 months in a similar procedure, and most people recover within a few days.
