THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT GASTRIC BALLOON

Weight loss issue remains a great health challenge in present times. People are leaving no stones unturned in order to get rid of this serious issue that can prove to be fatal in the long term. You must have heard about weight loss surgery procedures being carried these days in order to get rid of this situation. But, for people who either do not qualify for this treatment or are looking for a treatment that is less invasive, gastric balloon technique is apt. This is a novel concept which has gained huge popularity among people.

In this process, a deflated soft silicone gastric balloon is inserted in your stomach via mouth. The balloon is filled with saline after reaching the desired spot. By doing this, you will feel fuller as the stomach will hold less food thereafter. However, it is important to note that this is a temporary solution as after approximately 6 months the balloon is supposed to be removed from the stomach.

This procedure gets completed in approximately half an hour. General anaesthesia will be given and you may be discharged the very same day. You’ll have to take good care of yourself as these treatments are not magical that’ll work wonders on their own. One has to follow a set diet plan, exercise regularly and eat correct meals at correct time. Studies have shown that as compared to the people who were into traditional methods of weight loss, such as diet and exercise, people who underwent this treatment lost weight 3 times more than usual.

There are no restrictions or limitations when it comes to eating anything after undergoing the gastric balloon technique. Our main focus is on moderation and portion size. Dr. Ashish Bhanot is one of the best doctors for gastric balloon insertion in Delhi. Contact him for further queries.
