A gastric balloon is a soft, temporary silicone device placed inside the stomach through the mouth using an endoscope — no cuts or staples involved. Once positioned, it is filled with sterile saline or gas, occupying space in the stomach so that smaller meals feel filling sooner and hunger between meals is easier to manage. It is typically recommended for adults with a BMI between 27 and 40 who have not achieved lasting results through diet and exercise alone, and who prefer a non-surgical, reversible option. The balloon remains in place for six to twelve months, after which it is removed in a similar short endoscopic procedure. Results depend heavily on the structured dietary and behavioural programme followed during and after the treatment period; average weight loss in clinical studies is around 10 to 15 percent of total body weight.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $500
