A gastric balloon, also known as an intragastric balloon, is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that involves placing a soft, inflatable balloon inside the stomach to reduce space for food. This creates a feeling of fullness, helping patients consume smaller portions and establish healthier eating habits. Since this is a temporary weight loss solution, it is most effective when paired with lifestyle changes, including proper nutrition and physical activity.
