About
Gastric balloons designed to last 12 months are intended to provide long-term support in the weight loss process. Here are some features and popular brands of 12-month gastric balloons:
Orbera 12-month Balloon
Orbera Gastric Balloon
Orbera Gastric Balloon: Orbera is one of the most recognized brands of gastric balloons. Their 12-month gastric balloon is made of a soft silicone material and is filled with a saline solution. It's designed to occupy space in the stomach, allowing patients to feel full sooner and eat less.
ReShape Double Balloon System
ReShape Gastric Balloon
ReShape Gastric Balloon: The ReShape balloon is actually a double balloon filled with tinted saline solution that is inserted into the stomach via an endoscope. Once inside, the balloon is filled to occupy part of the stomach space. This aims to reduce the stomach's capacity, helping the patient to feel full faster and eat less food.
Spatz3 Adjustable Balloon
Spatz3 Gastric Balloon
Spatz3 Gastric Balloon: The uniqueness of Spatz3 lies in its ability to be adjusted after insertion. If a patient feels discomfort or if weight loss is unsatisfactory, the amount of saline inside the balloon can be increased or decreased. This is done using a special filling tube that remains in place after the initial insertion and is later removed. Spatz3 is an adjustable gastric balloon designed to last 12 months.
These gastric balloons are typically placed endoscopically, meaning no surgery is required. The procedure is done under light anesthesia and can take about 20 to 30 minutes.
It's important to note that gastric balloons are not a miracle solution for weight loss. They must be used in combination with a comprehensive weight management program, including dietary changes, exercise, and regular medical follow-up. Weight loss varies from person to person, but many patients have achieved significant results with 12-month gastric balloons.
Before deciding to undergo a gastric balloon procedure, it is essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to assess your needs and discuss the options that are best suited for you.
