Gastric Balloon
Offered by NewFit
Least invasive weight loss procedure we perform, the Gastric Balloon is placed in Endoscopy (no surgical incisions)
- Very specific post-placement process
- Must be used with monthly supervised diet and behavior modification regime to maintain long-term weight loss
- Balloon can only remain in place for 6 months at time. It can be replaced
- Procedure helps weight loss by inserting a silicone implant in the patient's stomach, and creating a sensation of fullness which equals satiety by decreasing the amount of food consumed. Patients feel full sooner and have a weaker appetite between meals
