The intragastric balloon is a non-surgical weight loss procedure offered at the Pio Clinic for individuals seeking an effective yet minimally invasive way to treat obesity. The procedure involves placing a soft silicone balloon in the stomach, which is then filled with saline or gas. The balloon takes up space in the stomach, helping patients feel fuller more quickly and eat smaller portions of food, ultimately leading to significant weight loss.

At the Pio Clinic, our experienced team of specialists will guide you through every step of the process, from the initial consultation to aftercare. The intragastric balloon is placed endoscopically, so there are no incisions or long recovery periods. The procedure is quick, typically taking 20-30 minutes, and most patients can go home the same day.

This solution is ideal for people who are starting their weight loss journey or need support to achieve their health goals. The intragastric balloon remains in place for up to six months, providing a temporary but effective boost to weight management efforts. During this time, patients receive ongoing support from our expert dietitians and wellness coaches to adopt healthier eating habits and lifestyle changes.

Once the balloon is removed, patients often find it easier to maintain their weight loss due to the improved eating habits and lifestyle changes they’ve made. Our team ensures a smooth removal process and continues to provide guidance for long-term success. The intragastric balloon is particularly beneficial for people who are not candidates for surgery or who prefer a less invasive approach.
