The foundation of this procedure is that the presence of a balloon inflated with liquid inside the stomach, which creates a feeling of fullness, reduces food intake and thus leads to weight loss.
The balloon, made of silicone rubber, a biocompatible-proven material, is inserted endoscopically through the mouth, while the patient is under sedation, and is filled with physiological saline up to a volume ranging from 400 to 800 cm3, according to the kind of patient being treated.
The Balloon must be removed after 12 months and may be replaced by a new one, if deemed necessary by the physician.
