Obesity is a complicated disease that involves stubborn fat in the human body. It leads to many health concerns and complications like heart and liver diseases, certain kinds of cancer, PCOD, type-2 diabetes, and many more.  

Reducing weight is essential to overcome obesity. It is because weight loss can substantially reduce health risk elements linked with obesity and enhance the quality of life. Therefore, weight safe treatments are a great step towards a healthy lifestyle and life. One such safest form of weight loss treatment is Gastric Balloon Treatment. It is a weight loss treatment for patients who have not been able to lose excess weight through traditional methods like dieting or exercise.

What Is Gastric Balloon Treatment?

Gastric Balloon Treatment is a simple weight loss procedure that helps obese patients throw off excessive weight without surgery. It is a non-endoscopic, and non-surgical procedure to lose weight safely. This procedure offers less risk than bariatric surgery, and a person can lose around 15% of body weight within 16 weeks by implanting a gastric balloon. 

Allurion Gastric Ballooning Program is a crucial aid in the fight to stem the ebb of obesity. Therefore, when the question arises about the safest and most effective form of weight loss treatment, the answer to this question is Gastric Balloon Treatment.

How Is Gastric Ballooning Performed?

In a Gastric Balloon Treatment, a capsule with a gastric balloon is swallowed. Earlier gastric balloons were known as ellipse balloons, which are principally pill balloon capsules. The capsule is swallowed under the direction of healthcare professionals and experts without anesthesia or endoscopy. As a consequence, it is a legitimate substitution for surgery.  

Once the gastric balloon is in place in the body, the balloon gets inflated or expanded with a basic sterile solution. Also, the balloon placement is checked using quick x-rays, which helps in knowing whether the placement is correct or whether specific measures need to be taken. 

The gastric balloon has a self-sealing flap that prevents or stops the outflow of air or liquid. The balloon floats smoothly in the stomach, making the procedure safe and effective. 

The balloon \occupies the stomach, giving a sense of satiety. Hence, the patient will now have a comparatively less urge to consume something because the space is now occupied by an inflated gastric balloon, resulting in decreased appetite and weight loss.

What Happens After The Gastric Balloon Procedure Is Completed?

After the Gastric Balloon Treatment is completed, the balloon in the stomach naturally exits the body after some time (around 16 weeks). The gastric secretions in the body make it pervious, and then it deflates because it is longer necessary for the body. 

Allurion Gastric Balloon Treatment can last a lifetime, and 95% of weight loss is sustained even after 1 year of the passing of the gastric balloon from the body. The program is a 6-month holistic weight-loss program where the Allurion Connected Scale, Health Tracker, and App will back you.

Advantages Of Losing Weight With A Gastric Balloon

Choosing a gastric balloon for weight loss provides several advantages. Here is why you should consider this treatment for your weight loss journey.

  1. Helps jump-start weight loss

While many weight loss treatments require a body mass index (BMI) of at least 40, you can qualify for a gastric balloon treatment with a BMI of only 27. In addition, you may use the gastric balloon for six months to curb the appetite, make it easier to comply with prescribed diets, and create necessary behavioral changes. The gastric balloon can help you become used to eating smaller food portions.

  1. Good for extreme obesity

If you have a BMI greater than 60 or cannot undergo invasive surgery due to medical conditions, a gastric balloon can be of huge help. You may use it to lose some initial weight to qualify for gastric bypass or sleeve surgery. The gastric balloon also helps you treat obesity-related health issues, like heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

  1. Easy procedure

A gastric balloon procedure is non-invasive compared to other surgeries, such as bariatric surgery. It requires no anesthesia and does not result in any blood loss. Therefore, you can go home the same day and recover faster. Gastric balloon treatment is also less costly than bariatric surgery.

  1. Few side effects

Placement of a gastric balloon has few side effects, and complications are very rare. You may experience some pain and nausea for a day or two, but this resolves on its own.

Conclusion

Gastric Ballooning Treatment is the safest and most reliable option to lose weight without surgery. If you are looking for a safe, secure, and affordable weight loss treatment that will work for you, go for this treatment. Book a free consultation today with Pristyn Care and lose around 15% of body weight in 16 weeks. Pristyn Care patients under the Allurion Program will get the best guidance and desired weight loss in an effective program of 6 months.
