Intragastric Balloon (Non-Surgical Weight Loss Procedure)

This procedure is performed with you asleep in an operating theatre. A soft silicone balloon is inserted into your stomach through your mouth using a special camera called an endoscope. The balloon is then inflated with sterile salt water. It can stay in your stomach for up to 6 months, reducing your appetite and helping to support better eating habits.

This is a safe procedure requiring no skin incisions and is completed in about 20 minutes. This is a day procedure meaning no overnight stay in hospital is required.

After you’ve had 6 months to change the way you eat and work with the support team at Sea Change, the balloon is removed. Removal of the balloon is also performed as a day procedure in hospital with you asleep. The balloon is deflated and removed using a gastroscope.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process before and after having an Intragastric Balloon?

You will typically see your surgeon 2 times (post-insertion and pre-removal), and your dietitian 4 times.

Can I return straight to work after insertion of an Intragastric Balloon?

We advise having 24-48 hours off work to allow ample time for you to adjust to the Intragastric Balloon.
