What is an Endoscopic Gastric Balloon?
The endoscopic gastric balloon is a silicone-made balloon inserted into the stomach through the mouth using an endoscopy device. After placement, the balloon is filled with a sterile liquid and expands. This limits the stomach's capacity to hold food and helps patients feel full with less food, thus reducing hunger.
