Gastric Balloon
Gastric Balloon Treatment at Emirates European Hospital
Welcome to Emirates European Hospital, where we provide cutting-edge solutions for effective and sustainable weight loss. Our gastric balloon program offers a non-surgical approach to help individuals achieve their weight loss goals and improve their overall health.
Understanding the Gastric Balloon Procedure
The gastric balloon is a temporary, non-surgical weight loss device designed to make you feel fuller faster, so you eat less. A soft, silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth using an endoscope and then filled with saline solution. The procedure is quick, usually taking about 20 to 30 minutes, allowing you to return home the same day.
Benefits of Choosing a Gastric Balloon
- Non-Surgical: As a minimally invasive procedure, it requires no incisions, resulting in a quicker recovery and lower risk of complications.
- Effective Weight Loss: Many patients experience significant weight loss, especially when combined with lifestyle changes.
- Enhanced Health: Successful weight loss can lead to improvements in obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
- Comprehensive Support: Our dedicated team provides continuous support, including nutritional guidance and lifestyle coaching, to maximize your success.
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
The gastric balloon is suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 to 40 who need assistance in losing weight. It is also recommended for individuals not achieving desired results from diet and exercise alone and those seeking a non-surgical weight loss option.
The Treatment Journey
Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation by our skilled team to assess your suitability for the procedure.
Procedure: Once approved, we schedule your balloon placement, which is done as an outpatient procedure with sedation for comfort.
Post-Placement Support: You’ll receive comprehensive follow-up care, including regular appointments to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments to your diet and exercise plan. The balloon is typically kept in place for six months.
Balloon Removal: After six months, the balloon is deflated and removed using the same endoscopic procedure.
