Intragastric balloon bariatric surgery is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure that involves the insertion of an inflatable balloon into the stomach. The balloon is a silicone balloon that is filled with saline solution and is inserted through a small incision in the abdomen. This balloon creates a small pouch above it, effectively bypassing the remaining portion of the stomach. Consequently, the surgery restricts the amount of food that can be consumed in a single sitting and slows down gastric emptying.
Compared to other weight loss surgeries like gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, intragastric balloon bariatric surgery is less invasive. Furthermore, it offers the advantage of reversibility, providing the option to remove the balloon if the patient is dissatisfied with the outcomes.
