Gastric Balloon
Gastric balloons, FDA-approved for weight management, are temporary, saline-filled devices placed in the stomach to limit food intake and increase fullness. They offer a non-surgical, lower-risk weight loss solution, especially for those hesitant about surgery. While effective, they may cause initial discomfort and achieve less weight loss than surgical options, with potential weight regain post-removal. This method is a supportive step towards a healthier lifestyle, complementing diet and exercise.
