How Does it Work?

To lose weight, the patient has a silicone balloon filled with saline placed in their stomach. Restricting how much a person can consume and hastening the feeling of fullness, this aids in weight loss.

Preparation:

• The first step on the road to weight loss is a consultation with our licensed doctor who will outline the entire procedure and do all the required tests to assess the patient’s fitness. 
• It is important to talk about medical history and weight reduction objectives to make sure this is the best course of action.

Procedure:

It simply takes around 15 minutes to complete the Gastric Balloon Placement in Abu Dhabi. For the first time, a gastric banding may be used without an endoscopy.

• For implantation or removal, no anesthesia is required.
• Simply taking the capsule orally containing a catheter and a deflated balloon is sufficient.
• An x-ray is used to establish the stomach balloon’s existence. Through the catheter, water is injected into it to inflate it.
• The balloon is then checked for proper inflation with a second X-ray.
  

Side Effects:

Although this treatment involves a very lower risk, some side effects could potentially occur. For example, deflation or overinflation of the balloon could happen in some very exceptional cases which would require a doctor’s intervention. Among other cases, it might cause nausea and vomiting for a very shorter period.

Cost:

The average cost of the treatment starts from AED 18,000. The final cost is determined by the doctor after considering all the factors that define the cost. This is done after a detailed initial consultation and checkup.

Insurance Coverage:

The expenses of the treatment are not covered by the insurance companies as it is not a medically important procedure and is only carried out for weight loss.

How Long do the Results Last?

The results do not last for a long time. The capsule usually deflates within some months and is excreted naturally from the body.
