Questions and answers
What is a gastric balloon?
The gastric or intragastric balloon is a short-term medical device aimed to help patients lose excess weight without surgical intervention. It is temporary, but enough effective method to get rid of obesity along with diet and physical activity.
How does gastric balloon work?
A soft silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach with the help of an endoscope (tubular instrument passed through the mouth and throat). In the stomach, the balloon is filled with saline occupying the bigger part of the intragastric space. This gives the impression of satiety because the stomach is partially full. As a result, the individual eats less food in one sitting and begins to lose weight.
The balloon is situated in the stomach for 6 months, after which it is removed. It can be inserted for a second time after a break of 2 months. To achieve the maximum effect of this bariatric procedure, the patient needs to keep a diet.
The balloon insertion takes an hour. The procedure requires hospitalization — the patient stays in a hospital for a day and then comes back home.
Who benefits the gastric balloon procedure?
This method is not suitable for people with a very high body mass index (BMI). The recommended BMI for an intragastric balloon procedure starts from 30.
An intragastric balloon can also be used as a preparation for bariatric surgery to reduce the risk of complications. Some weight loss surgeries increase the risk of complications if the patient has severe obesity. In this case, the balloon can reduce excess weight to acceptable standards that allow doctors to perform bariatric surgery with less risk.
The balloon bariatric procedure is especially suitable for people who want to avoid surgery.
What are the main advantages of the gastric balloon method ?
- installed through an endoscope without intervention
- temporary option (6 months)
- can be reused
- can be used as preparation for bariatric surgery
- low risk of complications
- does not affect the digestive system
- weight loss is slower than after bariatric surgery.
What are the contraindications for the procedure?
- inflammatory bowel disease
- esophagitis
- gastric and duodenal ulcers
- stomach tumors
- lower gastrointestinal bleeding
- congenital pyloric stenosis, atresia, and stenosis of the small intestine
- large hiatal hernia (esophageal opening of the diaphragm)
- mental disorders
- alcohol and drug addiction
- constant intake of aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, drugs that irritate the stomach, anticoagulants (medications that reduce blood clotting)
- pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Learn more about the contraindications here.
How long is the rehabilitation period after intragastric balloon insertion?
The recovery time takes 3 days. After this period, the patient can return to work. Immediately after the gastric balloon procedure, the patient will need to limit food intake. During the first few days, the diet should consist only of liquid food. In 2 weeks after the procedure, the person can begin to try semi-solid, and then solid food.
The intragastric balloon implies that the patient will change the lifestyle and eating habits to healthier ones. The balloon makes it much easier because it consumes a lot of space in the stomach and reduces the amount of food intake.
The procedure for intragastric balloon installing also involves checks by a surgeon to avoid all sorts of complications.
In 6 months, the balloon will be removed from the stomach in the same way as it was installed. If the patient wants the process to be repeated to achieve a better result, then the balloon can be inserted again after a short break of 2 months.
What are the risks of the gastric balloon?
The intragastric balloon procedure causes fewer complications in contrast with other weight loss surgery methods. The most common among them are:
- nausea
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- abdominal pain.
What results can you expect after the procedure?
The gastric juice destroys the balloon gradually, so the balloon can be put into the stomach for 6 months, and then it must be taken out. If a patient wants to continue balloon treatment, the procedure will be performed again but only in 2 months.
The procedure's effectiveness depends on the eating habits and the patient’s diet. The gastric balloon shows high efficiency in people with not very high BMI, in particular:
- lose about 20-50 pounds of excess weight
- decrease body weight by 20%
- decrease body mass index by 5%.
How much does a gastric balloon cost ?
Usually, the stomach balloon surgery cost includes consultation with a doctor and the procedure itself. In some clinics balloon packages and programs are available.
The balloon weight loss surgery cost varies depending on:
- country
Each country offers different prices for the procedure. It depends on state economic development level and average price policy. Asian nations offer 3-4 times lower bariatric balloon cost in comparison with European ones.
- city
The price for gastric balloon differs from city to city within a particular country. Larger and more economically developed megapolises offer 2 times higher balloon weight loss surgery cost than the smaller cities. However, the quality of the procedure is on the same level.
- private or state hospital
Clinics are divided into private and state ones. The bariatric balloon cost in state hospitals can be 2 times lower than in private clinics. But the management quality in state centers is also lower. It depends on the country where a hospital is located. Specify the information on at the clinic contact center and read gastric balloon surgery reviews when choosing a hospital.
- doctor’s qualification
The best bariatric doctors undergo international training and have vast experience. The balloon weight loss surgery cost is higher when a specialist with an excellent reputation performs the procedure.

Carlo even checked up on me once I was home through my recover several times. I will admit I was scared at first about leaving the US to have the surgery but I’m so glad I did it!

ayer estuve en el Vallés de Alcalá de Henares. falta de medios e higiene ante el coronavirus inaudita para ser un hospital. mucho menos que en cualquier supermercado. no tienen gel en la entrada para echarte. en la cola del mostrado para dar los volantes había personas que no respetaban la separación necesaria. cuando entregué el.mio para hacerme una resonancia te dan un formulario para rellenar, te dicen que cojas un boli que tienen allí. me había fijado mientras esperaba, d…espués de usarlo algún paciente, nadie lo desinfectaba. cuando pase a hacerme la resonancia.no sé si el picaporte y llaves del cambiador estaban limpios. me eché de mi propio desinfectante. cuando terminé le pedí a la chica que me diera y me dijo que cuando me hubiera cambiado. parece que todo el empeño del personal era ahora. en las salas de espera había moscas. cuando fui a hacerme los rx, no me atreví a sentarme en una sillas de tapicería sucisimas. muy mal, independiente de la tardanza interminable que tarde más de dos horas para hacerme una resonancia y una radiografía, me pareció increíble la falta de higiene.

Dr. HE Clinic
I had seen many ads for this place around town. I happened to be in the neighborhood and by chance stumbled upon it. Curious I popped in for a look and was able to have a chat with the manager who is from California. Nice guy. He explained it was a mens wellness clinic set up for mens needs with out the worries of specialist who are more suited to womens. At 58 I told him I made it this far with out any plastic surgery and don't know if I will really go down that path. He told me that isn't their only specialty. Diet, mens health and solutions for any stage in ones life with emphasis that it was a men's clinic with focus towards men. Not sure if I will ever use it but nice to know its there. Rating based on convenience to Thonglor BTS, friendliness, cleanliness of the place and the fact that I virtually got a free consultation.

Dr. HE Clinic
My girlfriend asked me to do the enlargement treatment and I chose HE Clinic because they seemed to be the best. My experience was as follows: Arrive at the clinic staff are very polite and friendly. Didn't wait long then saw the doctor. Youngish Thai who speaks English ok an seems polite and competent. He has apparently done the treatment many times. After the exam he recommends 12 ccs but I decided to take 10 to be safe. A cream was applied and I waited 20 mins. Then the doctor injected the filler under the skin. I couldn't feel anything which was my biggest fear. It didn't take long to complete the treatment and I was good to go. I got some slight swelling after the treatment but in a couple of days, it was fine. I had to wait a week before I could have it. I did find my life got a boost after the treatment. I had to go back for a follow up as some of the filler was uneven. To be fair the doctor corrected it for free. Its has been a few months now and I would say I am. glad I did the procedure. I wish the filler was more permanent as I do already feel the need to top up a few more CCS. Overall I would say if it's bothering you this treatment is worth considering.
