What is the gastric balloon and how does it work?
The gastric balloon is a medical silicone device placed inside the stomach, occupying space and reducing its effective capacity. With the balloon present in the stomach, the patient feels full after much smaller portions of food, which reduces caloric intake without requiring iron willpower or extreme diets. There are two types of gastric balloon available in Medellín. The endoscopic balloon (Orbera, Spatz3) is inserted via endoscopy under conscious sedation and filled with saline solution or gas until the ideal volume is reached. The swallowable balloon (Elipse) is swallowed in capsule form without sedation or endoscopy, and is naturally expelled through the stool at 4 months with no extraction required. In both cases, the gastric balloon is combined with a comprehensive habit-change program that includes nutritional monitoring, progressive physical activity, and psychological support if needed.
