Gastric Balloon
The gastric balloon is a non-surgical, temporary weight loss solution designed to help individuals achieve significant weight loss through portion control and appetite reduction.
Gastric Balloons
This procedure involves placing a soft silicone balloon in the stomach, which occupies space, making patients feel fuller on smaller portions and supporting healthy eating habits.
Spatz3
The Spatz3 balloon, a unique adjustable gastric balloon, can remain in the stomach for up to 8 months, providing a longer-term option for weight loss. Spatz3 can be inflated or deflated as needed during the treatment period, allowing for personalized adjustments to maximize weight loss results and manage side effects like nausea. Studies show that the Spatz3 balloon may result in higher weight loss averages due to its extended duration and customizable volume, with some patients achieving up to 20% total weight loss over a year.
Orbera
The Orbera balloon is a popular single balloon system that is inserted endoscopically and filled with saline once inside the stomach. It remains in place for six months, after which it must be removed. Clinical studies show that Orbera patients lose an average of 10-13% of their body weight in the treatment period. Its six-month limit is ideal for patients looking for a moderate-term weight loss solution.
