Stomach Balloon

Americans are challenged with maintaining a normal weight in the face of many obstacles; advertising of fast food, lack of exercise, financial constraints, and more. Until now, the options to address the need for sustainable weight loss have been few. Diet and exercise alone have a very low rate of success. Surgery is reserved for the patient at about 100lbs over their ideal weight. Yet 33% of U.S. adults are just "overweight" and would not qualify for or want surgery.
The Gastric Balloon has just been FDA approved and is available now by a qualified physician who specializes in weight loss and weight loss procedure.
This saline filled balloon, is inserted endoscopically (camera through the mouth), with mild to no sedation, in under twenty minutes. It is removed at six months. Combined with diet and exercise, the balloon has been shown to achieve successful weight loss.
