Innovative Intragastric Balloon for Weight Loss

Intragastric balloon surgery in Dubai takes place on an outpatient basis. It’s a non-invasive surgery that only involves an endoscopic procedure. At Spatz, we perform the surgery on an outpatient basis within 15 minutes.

The experts use an endoscope to insert the deflated soft balloon via your mouth into your stomach. Using the same endoscope, the surgeon fills up the balloon with sterile saline, harmless to the body. Once it reaches a certain size, the endoscope is withdrawn.

How Does the Balloon Work

Once the balloon is in your stomach, it’s filled with sterile saline until it reaches a specific size. It remains in your stomach and helps you feel full at every meal faster than before. Hence, you can control your food and liquid intake, progressing on your weight loss journey.

Adjustable Intragastric Balloon Treatment Period

The adjustable Spatz intragastric balloon is made of silicon and contains a harmless saline solution. The balloon can stay in the body for up o 12 months. At the end of 12 months, a professional performs the reversal procedure to remove the balloon via endoscopy.

Potential Complications and Side Effects

Patients often ask if the balloon can rupture inside the body. Although it’s possible, it’s an extremely rare occurrence and usually a result of carelessness.

If it ruptures, the saline solution doesn’t pose any threat to the stomach because it’s mainly sodium chloride (salt) water. Common side effects of intragastric balloon surgery include:

• Nausea/vomiting
• Abdominal discomfort
• Bloating
• Cramps
