Intragastric Balloon
What is the Intragastric Balloon?
The intragastric balloon is a soft, silicone-based balloon that is inserted into the stomach via endoscopy and then filled with sterile saline. It occupies space in the stomach, making the patient feel full faster and eat smaller portions. The balloon remains in place for 6 to 12 months, during which patients adopt healthier eating habits under professional guidance.

What Is an Intragastric Balloon?
Struggling to lose weight but not ready for major surgery? At Reference Aesthetics Medical, we offer the intragastric balloon as a safe and modern solution. This non-surgical technique involves placing a soft balloon into the stomach to help you feel full sooner and reduce overall food intake. Also referred to as an endoscopic gastric balloon or a swallowable balloon capsule, this procedure provides an effective, less invasive alternative to traditional weight loss surgeries.
During the procedure, a deflated balloon is gently inserted into the stomach—either through endoscopy or by swallowing a special capsule. Once in place, the balloon is inflated with a sterile solution or gas, occupying space and limiting the stomach’s capacity. This helps patients control portion sizes and achieve meaningful weight loss. The balloon is temporary and fully reversible, making it ideal for individuals who want a jumpstart on their health journey.
As a trusted provider in medical weight loss, Reference Aesthetics Medical ensures patient safety, comfort, and guidance every step of the way. If you’re considering a healthier lifestyle and want a non-surgical option that works, the intragastric balloon could be your first step. Schedule a consultation with our expert team and begin your transformation with confidence.
