  2. what is intragastric balloon Procedure Intragastric balloon is a weight-loss procedure to treat obesity. It can be successful in patients who have been not been able to lose weight through traditional methods such as dieting or exercise. During the procedure, the balloon is implanted into the stomach through your mouth using an endoscope. The balloon is filled with saline to fill space in the stomach, giving you the feeling of fullness with less food. The implant is temporary and does not alter your anatomy. www.obesityasia.com

  3. Why it's done • The placement of an intragastric balloon helps you lose weight. Weight loss can lower your risk of potentially serious weight-related health problems, such as: • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) • Heart disease or stroke • High blood pressure • Obstructive sleep apnea • Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) • Type 2 diabetes www.obesityasia.com

  4. How it is done

  5. Who it’s for • Your body mass index (BMI) is between 30 and 40. • You’re willing to commit to healthy lifestyle changes and regular medical follow-up, as well as to participate in behavioral therapy. • You have not had any previous stomach or esophageal surgery. www.obesityasia.com

  6. Results An intragastric balloon can make you feel more full faster than you normally would when eating, which often means you'll eat less. One reason why may be that the intragastric balloon slows down the time it takes to empty the stomach. Another reason may be that the balloon seems to change levels of hormones that control appetite. The amount of weight you lose also depends on how much you can change your lifestyle habits including diet and exercise Loss of about 10 to 15 percent of body weight is typical during the six months following intragastric balloon placement. In a randomized clinical trial with 255 adults with a BMI between 30 and 40, people who had the intragastric balloon procedure along with behavioral therapy lost 29 percent of their excess weight, compared to 14 percent in a group that received behavioral therapy alone. www.obesityasia.com
