The gastric balloon is a very effective, nonsurgical, FDA-approved weight loss procedure. A saline-filled balloon is placed in the stomach by a board-certified gastroenterologist. The whole procedure takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. Within the first month, patients who follow the protocol tend to lose weight at a rate that is 3 times faster than diet and exercise alone. After a period of time, the balloon will be removed in the same simple way that it was inserted.
