Intragastric balloon
An intragastric balloon is a non-surgical weight-loss procedure that involves placing a deflated balloon into the stomach and then inflating it to create a feeling of fullness. The goal of this procedure is to assist individuals in losing weight by reducing the amount of food they can eat. Here’s an overview of the intragastric balloon procedure:
Procedure:
Placement of the Balloon:
A deflated silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth using an endoscope.
Inflation of the Balloon:
Once inside the stomach, the balloon is filled with saline solution or another fluid, expanding to occupy space in the stomach.
Duration of Placement:
The balloon is left in the stomach for a specific period, usually around six months.
How it Works:
The intragastric balloon takes up space in the stomach, leading to a feeling of fullness and reducing the amount of food that can be consumed.
Benefits:
Non-Surgical:
Since the procedure is performed endoscopically, it is non-surgical, and there is no need for incisions.
Temporary:
The balloon is typically left in the stomach for a limited duration, and it is then removed.
Considerations:
Temporary Solution:
The intragastric balloon is not a permanent solution. Once removed, individuals need to maintain lifestyle changes to sustain weight loss.
Supervised Weight Loss:
Success with the intragastric balloon often involves supervised weight loss programs, including dietary and lifestyle modifications.
Candidates:
Intragastric balloons are generally recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) between 30 and 40 who have not had success with diet and exercise alone.
Cost of intragastric balloon in Germany
In Germany, the cost may range from €5.963 to €6.562.
