The gastric balloon (endoscopic intragastric balloon) is a relatively new, temporary weight loss procedure that makes patients feel full sooner by placing a durable silicon balloon in the stomach, leading to significant short-term weight loss.
It was developed to ?bridge the gap? between pure diet and exercise and the other, more complicated, weight loss surgeries.
