Hi Sarah, The gastric balloon is an easier procedure than most people picture. You come in and you're given light sedation. Dr Loy then places the soft, empty balloon in your stomach using a thin camera, and fills it with sterile saline. | ||||

It takes about 20 minutes, and you go home the same day. No hospital stay. It is a soft balloon in your stomach and stays there for up to 12 months. You eat less because you feel full sooner. You're not left to figure it out on your own. The dietitian and the rest of the team are here to support your journey the whole way through. At the end, Dr Loy takes the balloon out the same way. | ||||
