What is Endoscopic Intragastric Ballooning?

Endoscopic Intragastric Ballooning is a non-surgical, temporary weight loss procedure designed to help individuals reduce body weight effectively and safely. It involves placing a soft, expandable silicone balloon in the stomach via endoscopy. Once in place, the balloon is filled with saline to occupy space in the stomach, making you feel full faster and eat less.

This procedure is ideal for people struggling with obesity who haven’t succeeded with diet and exercise alone and want a less invasive alternative to bariatric surgery.

How Does the Gastric Balloon Work?

The gastric balloon works on a simple principle — by reducing stomach capacity and promoting satiety. Here’s how the process works:

  1. Endoscopic Insertion: The deflated balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth using an endoscope.

  2. Balloon Inflation: Once placed, it is filled with sterile saline to form a soft, inflated ball.

  3. Space Occupation: The balloon floats freely and takes up space, reducing hunger and limiting food intake.

  4. Removal: After 6 months (or as advised), the balloon is removed endoscopically.

Who is Eligible for Intragastric Ballooning?

You may be eligible for Endoscopic Intragastric Ballooning if:

  • You have a BMI between 27 and 35

  • You are overweight or mildly obese

  • You are not suitable for or prefer to avoid bariatric surgery

  • You are committed to lifestyle and dietary changes

  • You don’t have a history of gastrointestinal surgery or ulcers
