Endoscopic Gastric Balloon

The endoscopic gastric balloon is a modern and effective weight-management method developed to help individuals achieve long-term weight control without surgery.

This procedure temporarily reduces the stomach’s capacity, increases the feeling of fullness, and allows patients to feel satisfied with smaller portions.

As a result, calorie intake decreases and the weight-loss process progresses in a natural, safe, and controlled way.

At ClinicHaus, the endoscopic gastric balloon treatment is carefully planned with advanced technology, an experienced medical team, and personalized nutritional counseling. 

Each patient is guided individually from the first consultation onward and followed by a multidisciplinary team throughout the entire process.

What Is an Endoscopic Gastric Balloon?

The endoscopic gastric balloon is a soft, silicone or polyurethane balloon placed inside the stomach for a period of 6 to 12 months. It partially fills the stomach to create an early feeling of fullness with smaller meals. 

The procedure requires no surgical incision or stitches; the balloon is inserted through the mouth using an endoscopic technique.

This minimally invasive method allows the patient to start losing weight within days, safely and without the need for surgery. It is particularly suitable for those who have not achieved results through diet and exercise but prefer to avoid bariatric surgery.

How the Procedure Is Performed?

The endoscopic gastric balloon procedure is performed under sterile operating-room conditions by experienced gastroenterologists. It takes approximately 15–20 minutes and is done under mild sedation.

  1. Preparation Phase:
    The patient’s stomach must be completely empty; fasting for at least 8 hours is required.
    A full clinical evaluation and medical history review are performed before the procedure.
  2. Placement Phase:
    A thin, flexible endoscope is inserted through the mouth to the stomach.
    Once the correct position is confirmed on camera, the balloon is filled with a special sterile solution until the desired volume is reached.
  3. Post-Procedure:
    After placement, the patient is monitored briefly and discharged the same day. Most individuals return to normal activity within 24–48 hours. After 6 to 12 months, the balloon is removed using the same endoscopic method, a painless process that takes about 15 minutes.

How It Works?

The endoscopic gastric balloon reduces stomach capacity by approximately 30–40%. This leads to earlier satiety, smaller portion sizes, and longer-lasting fullness.

It also slows gastric emptying, helping to stabilize blood-sugar levels and reduce sudden hunger cravings.

Weight loss occurs naturally and progressively, aligned with the body’s rhythm. Under ClinicHaus dietitian supervision, patients not only lose weight but also gain healthy, sustainable eating habits.

Benefits of the Endoscopic Gastric Balloon

  • No surgery, incisions, or stitches required
  • Quick procedure: completed in around 20 minutes
  • Fast recovery: discharged the same day; normal activities resumed within a few days
  • Effective results: average weight loss of 15–20% of total body weight in 6 months
  • Fully reversible: stomach returns to its normal size after balloon removal
  • Long-term lifestyle improvement: new eating habits established through dietitian guidance
  • Motivating progress: visible weight-loss results boost patient confidence

This method is ideal for individuals with a BMI between 30 and 40, who have not succeeded with diet and exercise alone, or who wish to avoid the risks of surgery.

Results and Follow-Up Process

Most patients begin to lose weight within the first week after the procedure. On average, 10 to 25 kilograms of weight loss is achieved within six months.

What makes the ClinicHaus approach different is its comprehensive multidisciplinary follow-up involving physicians, psychologists, and nutrition experts.

Each patient receives a personalized meal plan, exercise guide, and digital tracking system to monitor progress.

This integrated approach not only accelerates weight loss but also prevents yo-yo weight regain after balloon removal.

The ClinicHaus Three-Step Follow-Up System includes:

  1. Medical Supervision: continuous health monitoring before, during, and after the procedure
  2. Nutritional Counseling: weekly meal planning and portion control training with a dietitian
  3. Lifestyle Coaching: guidance to build long-term healthy habits

Eligibility Criteria

The endoscopic gastric balloon is suitable for:

  • Individuals with a BMI between 30 and 40
  • Those who have not lost weight through diet and exercise
  • Patients who prefer a non-surgical alternative
  • Adults between 18 and 65 years old

It is not recommended for pregnant women, individuals with active stomach ulcers, or those with a history of gastric surgery. All candidates undergo a detailed medical assessment at ClinicHaus to ensure suitability and safety.
