A gastric balloon is a completely non-surgical, short-term weight loss treatment that creates a feeling of fullness thereby restricting the urge to eat more and ultimately leading to controlled, holistic losing of weight as a result.

Usually a gastric balloon is a soft silicon balloon that is inserted into a patient's mouth. The balloon partially fills the stomach letting the patient feel full. Whether the balloon is suitable for you or not entirely depends on your GP. Usually, your GP might suggest you of this when other simple measures to lose weight is not working. After the balloon is inserted, you might be asked to compliment the change with physical exercises and bring some lifestyle changes to make the process entirely effective.

According to Columbia University, Department of surgery, "Although less well studied, some studies showed the weight loss balloon resulted in significant improvement in conditions associated with obesity, including diabetes and cardiovascular health. The stomach balloon also improved patients’ lipid levels and blood sugar levels (Hemoglobin A1C). Although the gastric balloon is temporary and is removed after six months, patients experienced continued weight loss six months after removal. That benefit also continued in a small fraction of patients who have been followed for over five years after balloon removal."
