The intragastric balloon is a medical technique to treat obesity that does not require surgery, ie it is a non-surgical treatment which is achieved by causing the patient a feeling of fullness and loss of appetite persistent. This new weight loss system, having proved their effectiveness is beginning to be announced on television and certainly more than one reader will have seen an announcement in this regard.
The intragastric balloon technique is based on the endoscopic insertion of an expandable silicone balloon in the stomach, once in the stomach, the intragastric balloon is filled with saline, taking its final shape spherical. As an expandable balloon, it can take different sizes depending on the needs of each patient, ie overweight and its morphology. The success of the technique of thinning is based on stomach capacity is dramatically reduced causing satiated by eating us promptly and we need to continue eating food.
On the other hand, I can not fail to mention that the success of the technique of thinning will depend not only on the implantation of the intragastric balloon, but that the patient follow a diet controlled by specialists, but the diet will be very easy to deal with because to have virtually no appetite. It is also recommended that treatment for weight loss is accompanied by the practice of sports.
Both the introduction and removal of intragastric balloon is made by endoscopy, so this is a sensitive but non-surgical procedure. Once in the stomach, the patient may suffer stomach upset, nausea and vomiting, but there are treatments that minimize and eliminate these annoyances. The estimated duration of the intragastric balloon is six months after which should be removed.
Obviously, patients must resort to this treatment are those who seem unable to lose weight through diet or use of drugs prescribed by endocrine as Xenical. The advantage of intragastric balloon is that usually ends with the problem of many people who are obese, a problem which is nothing more than the inability to control hunger, which leads, after having undergone weight loss, eating again too much, being unable to lead a healthy diet, the intragastric balloon greatly help solve this problem.
The London Clinic is one of medical clinics and plastic surgery pioneers in the implementation of this device intragastric and from here I recommend it. The London Clinic has medical facilities in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Bilbao, Castellón, Ciudad Real, Murcia, Pamplona, Tarragona.
