The Intragastric Balloon System is a non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical alternative for the treatment of obesity. It is a medically supervised system that will help you take control of your weight without invasive surgery or drugs.
It is indicated for temporary use in mild to mode-rately obese patients (10 to 50 lbs of over-weight) who have significant health risks related to their obesity and have failed to achieve and maintain weight loss with a supervised weight control program alone.
The gastric balloon is a soft, silicon balloon that is inserted into the stomach and filled with sterile saline. The balloon is designed to partially fill your stomach, giving you a feeling of fullness. It will not only make you feel less hungry, but feel fuller more quickly after small meals. The balloon is removed after 6 months.
If you have a BMI of 30 or more, the BIB system ™ gastric balloon surgery could be the solution for you.
