\n\t\t\t

Intragastric balloon placement is a weight-loss procedure that involves placing a saline-filled silicone balloon in patient\u2019s stomach. This helps to lose weight by limiting how much he\/she can eat and making the person feel fuller faster.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

    The intragastric balloon procedure is done in the endoscopy unit as an outpatient procedure. You\u2019ll be sedated for the procedure.
    \nDuring the procedure, the doctor advances a thin tube (catheter) loaded with the intragastric balloon down patient\u2019s throat into his\/her stomach. Next, the doctor advances an endoscope, flexible tube with a camera attached, down his\/her throat into stomach. The camera allows doctor to see the balloon as he or she fills it with saline.<\/p>\n

    The procedure takes about a half-hour. Patient can normally go home one to two hours after the procedure is finished.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

    Pain and nausea affect about one-third of people soon after insertion of an intragastric balloon. However, these symptoms usually only last for a few days after balloon placement. These symptoms can usually be managed with oral medications at home.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n
