Gastric Balloon Surgery at LivLife Hospitals
Are you looking for a non-surgical way to kickstart your weight loss journey? The gastric balloon might be the solution you’ve been waiting for. It’s simple, temporary, and doesn’t require any cuts or stitches.
At LivLife Hospitals, Hyderabad, we offer advanced gastric balloon procedures for individuals who want to lose weight without surgery.
What Is a Gastric Balloon?
A gastric balloon is a soft, expandable balloon placed in your stomach through a simple endoscopic procedure. Once in place, it’s filled with saline or gas to occupy space in your stomach — making you feel fuller, faster.
It stays inside your stomach for about 6 months, helping you eat less and lose weight steadily. It’s a safe, reversible option for people who aren’t ready (or eligible) for weight loss surgery.
Who Is It For?
- You may be a good candidate for a gastric balloon if:
- Your BMI is between 27 and 35
- You haven’t had success with diet and exercise alone
- You want to avoid surgery
- You’re committed to a healthy lifestyle
- You’re looking for a short-term weight loss solution
Our doctors will assess your health to confirm if it’s right for you.
How Does It Work?
- Quick Procedure: The balloon is inserted through the mouth using an endoscope. No surgery required.
- Balloon Inflation: It’s filled with saline or gas to occupy space in your stomach.
- Feel Full Faster: Because your stomach has less room, you naturally eat smaller portions.
- Balloon Removal: After 6 months, the balloon is removed the same way it was inserted.
Most patients return home the same day.
Expected Weight Loss
Patients can expect to lose 10% to 15% of their body weight over 6 months with proper diet and exercise support. At LivLife, we combine the balloon procedure with a personalized lifestyle plan to help you make long-term changes.
