Dr Abdulsalam Al Taie, the first surgeon to perform gastric bypass in the UAE, will supervise the entire treatment. This treatment can help you lose weight by decreasing the volume of your stomach without surgery.

 

The Procedure:

Gastric balloon placement is a straightforward outpatient procedure typically performed by a gastroenterologist or a bariatric specialist. The process involves the following steps:

Patient Evaluation: Before the procedure, individuals undergo a thorough medical evaluation to assess their suitability for gastric balloon placement. This evaluation includes a review of medical history, physical examination, and sometimes imaging studies.

Balloon Insertion: The deflated gastric balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth using an endoscope. The endoscope is a flexible tube equipped with a light and camera that allows the physician to visualize the stomach’s interior.

Balloon Inflation: Once the balloon is properly positioned within the stomach, it is inflated with a sterile saline solution. The inflated balloon occupies space in the stomach, reducing its capacity and providing a sensation of fullness.

Confirmation and Recovery: After inflation, the physician confirms the correct placement of the balloon through the endoscope. The entire procedure typically takes about 20-30 minutes, and patients can often return home the same day.

Benefits of Gastric Balloon Placement:

Non-surgical Approach: Gastric balloon placement is a non-surgical procedure, making it an attractive option for individuals who are hesitant about undergoing surgery.

Temporary Intervention: Unlike surgical weight loss procedures, gastric balloons are temporary and can be removed after a certain period, typically six months. This allows for a more flexible approach to weight loss.

Weight Loss Aid: The presence of the balloon in the stomach helps individuals consume smaller portions of food, leading to reduced calorie intake and promoting weight loss.

Quick Recovery: Patients generally experience a quick recovery after the procedure, with most resuming normal activities within a few days.

 

Considerations and Potential Risks:

While gastric balloon placement is generally considered safe, there are certain considerations and potential risks to be aware of:

Side Effects: Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort during the initial days after balloon placement.

Diet and Lifestyle Changes: Successful weight loss with gastric balloons often requires a commitment to a modified diet and lifestyle, with guidance from healthcare professionals.

Balloon Migration or Deflation: In rare cases, the balloon may migrate within the stomach or deflate prematurely, requiring prompt medical attention.

Limited Weight Loss: Gastric balloons are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes, and the amount of weight loss achieved may vary among individuals.

Gastric balloon placement offers a non-surgical and temporary approach to weight loss, providing individuals with a tool to kickstart healthier habits. As with any medical procedure, it is crucial to consult with healthcare professionals to determine the most suitable weight loss strategy based on individual needs and medical considerations.
