Intragastric Balloon Treatment at Laparo Obeso Centre Pune

The intragastric balloon is a non-surgical, minimally invasive weight loss procedure designed to help individuals achieve significant weight loss. At Laparo Obeso Centre, this procedure is performed by experienced professionals under the guidance of Dr. Shashank Shah, a renowned expert in bariatric treatments.

The intragastric balloon involves placing a soft, silicone balloon into the stomach through the mouth using an endoscope. Once in place, the balloon is filled with a saline solution, which partially fills the stomach, creating a feeling of fullness. This helps patients reduce their food intake and encourages healthier eating habits.

This procedure is ideal for individuals who have not succeeded with traditional weight loss methods such as diet and exercise. It is particularly beneficial for those who are not candidates for surgical weight loss procedures. The entire process takes about 20-30 minutes, and patients can usually go home the same day.

The intragastric balloon is typically left in place for six months. During this period, patients receive comprehensive support from the multidisciplinary team at Laparo Obeso Centre, including dietitians, psychologists, and exercise physiologists. This team provides guidance on nutrition, behavior modification, and physical activity to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment and ensure long-term success.

After six months, the balloon is removed in a similar endoscopic procedure. However, the support from Laparo Obeso Centre continues, focusing on helping patients maintain their weight loss and adopt a healthier lifestyle.

Laparo Obeso Centre is dedicated to providing innovative and effective weight loss solutions. The intragastric balloon procedure, combined with comprehensive support, offers a valuable option for those seeking to achieve significant weight loss and improve their overall health.
