Endoscopic Intragastric Balloon Placement
Endoscopic intragastric balloon placement is a non-surgical, minimally invasive weight loss solution designed to help patients manage obesity by reducing hunger and promoting portion control. This temporary procedure involves placing a soft, saline-filled balloon inside the stomach, creating a feeling of fullness and supporting weight loss efforts. At Valiant Clinic, our specialist gastroenterologists provide expert care to ensure safe and effective weight management.

How It Works
How Endoscopic Intragastric Balloon Placement Works
The intragastric balloon is inserted into the stomach via an endoscopic procedure, requiring no incisions. Once in place, the balloon reduces stomach capacity, helping patients eat smaller portions and improve their dietary habits.
Pre-Procedure Assessment
A detailed evaluation, including an analysis of body mass index (BMI) and a dietary consultation, ensures the patient is suitable for the procedure and helps determine individualized goals.
Endoscopic Balloon Placement
A deflated balloon is inserted into the stomach via the esophagus using an endoscope. Once in place, the balloon is filled with saline, expanding it to reduce stomach capacity.
Temporary Gastric Volume Reduction
The balloon remains in the stomach for 6 to 12 months, helping limit food intake by creating a feeling of fullness, which supports weight loss and encourages portion control.
Post-Procedure Monitoring & Nutritional Support
Patients receive ongoing support with dietary guidance, exercise plans, and follow-up care to ensure the success of their weight loss journey and to promote healthy, long-term lifestyle changes.
