Weight loss with gastric balloon involves the insertion of a deflated balloon into the stomach, then filling it with saline to create a feeling of fullness, aiding in portion control and promoting weight loss.
Are you struggling to lose weight despite diet and exercise? Consider the gastric balloon procedure, a minimally invasive option offered by Dr. Iqbal Nabi Qureshi at Shalby Hospital. Here’s what you need to know:
Procedure Overview: The gastric balloon procedure involves the insertion of a deflated balloon into the stomach, which is then inflated with saline solution to occupy space and promote feelings of fullness. This helps patients consume smaller portions, leading to reduced calorie intake and gradual weight loss over time.
Indications: Gastric balloon placement is suitable for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) between 30 and 40 who have struggled to lose weight through traditional methods. It is a temporary weight loss solution designed to kickstart healthier habits and facilitate long-term lifestyle changes.
Expertise and Care: Dr. Qureshi specializes in performing gastric balloon procedures with precision and care. Patients can expect personalized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs, along with comprehensive support and guidance throughout their weight loss journey.
The gastric balloon procedure is typically performed under sedation, ensuring patient comfort throughout the process. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or nausea in the days following balloon placement, but this is generally well-tolerated and resolves quickly.
Weight loss results vary from person to person, but most patients can expect to lose a significant amount of weight within the first six months of balloon placement. On average, patients lose between 10% to 15% of their total body weight during this period.
No, the gastric balloon is a temporary weight loss solution. It remains in the stomach for approximately six months before being removed. During this time, patients work closely with their healthcare team to adopt healthier eating habits and lifestyle changes to maintain weight loss results.
