Gastric Balloon Therapy

Gastric Balloon Therapy in Jabalpur

Non-Surgical Weight Loss Solution by Dr. K.K. Verma

Gastric balloon therapy is a revolutionary, non-surgical weight loss treatment that helps patients lose significant weight by reducing their appetite and food intake. It involves placing a soft silicone balloon inside the stomach to occupy space, leading to early satiety and portion control.

Dr. K.K. Verma, an experienced gastrointestinal and bariatric specialist in Jabalpur, offers gastric balloon therapy as part of a medically supervised weight loss program tailored to your unique body, lifestyle, and health needs.

What is Gastric Balloon Therapy?

Gastric balloon therapy (also known as intragastric balloon placement) is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure where a balloon is inserted through the mouth into the stomach and then inflated with sterile saline or gas. The balloon reduces stomach capacity, making you feel full faster and helping you eat smaller portions.

It is a temporary solution (usually 6 months), ideal for patients who are overweight or obese and looking for effective weight loss without surgery.

Who is Gastric Balloon Therapy For?

    • BMI between 27 and 40 kg/m²

    • Patients who have not succeeded with diet, exercise, or medications

    • Those looking for non-surgical, reversible weight loss solutions

    • Patients preparing for bariatric surgery (to reduce surgical risk)

    • Not suitable for patients with prior stomach surgeries, ulcers, or certain medical conditions

    ⚠️ A full medical evaluation is necessary to determine if you’re eligible.
