Gastric balloon in Oum el Bouaghi

Visceral and digestive surgeon

The placement of a balloon in the stomach is a means of obtaining weight loss in patients suffering from overweight, the importance of which is likely to generate medical risks. It is a temporary device intended to modify the eating habits of overweight or obese patients. The presence of this balloon causes a temporary reduction in gastric volume and therefore a faster feeling of satiety, resulting in weight loss. This treatment is indicated in patients who have been unable to achieve lasting weight loss as part of a medical weight loss program.
