How It Is Performed
Gastric ballooning is performed on the
individuals suffering from obesity. The procedure
is targeted for helping individuals lose weight a
bit faster than the usual process of exercise and
dieting. The procedure does not involve any
surgery or incision. In this procedure an
endoscope is inserted through your mouth and is
made to travel to your stomach through   food
pipe, endoscope is equipped with all the
instruments including a camera, lightening
source, a gastric balloon etc. After the scope
has reached your stomach, your doctor will start
inflating the balloon and will release it into
your stomach in the inflated form. After the
balloon has been released from the scope, the
scope is withdrawn and you are kept under
observation for some time. This will limit your
eating capacity and a reduced intake of food will
allow your body to use the stored fats and
carbohydrates thus increasing the rate of weight
reduction.
