Diet and exercise are often helpful for people who wish to lose weight, but everyone’s needs are different. A gastric balloon is a bariatric procedure that can assist with weight loss. In a relatively simple process, a doctor nonsurgically places a balloon into your stomach and inflates it with a saline solution. This takes up space in your stomach, meaning you feel full more quickly. Our providers at Newvue Plastic Surgery can help you determine if a gastric balloon procedure in Seattle will help you reach your weight loss goals. From initial consultation to followup care, we are here for your needs.
A gastric balloon offers patients many advantages, the main one being weight loss. The gastric balloon helps you feel full sooner, helping you limit your food intake. This can be helpful if traditional weight loss techniques like diet and exercise are not providing results. Some people may seek out a gastric balloon to help lose weight for various medical conditions, as well, such as heart disease, sleep apnea, and certain cancers.
A gastric balloon can also help you enjoy newfound confidence as you visit all of your favorite spots in Seattle. If you have been wanting to find a slimmer appearance and other weight loss methods have not worked, a gastric balloon may be a beneficial step.
You may be a great Seattle candidate for a gastric balloon if you are having trouble losing weight, despite changing your diet and exercise. Gastric balloons are recommended for people with a body mass index between 30 and 40, which is in the obesity range. You must be committed to a healthy lifestyle with a better diet and regular checkups, and you should not have had stomach or esophageal surgery.
While not right for everyone, a discussion with our provider can help you determine if a gastric balloon is a good fit for your unique needs. We will help you navigate the treatment process and find the best type of care for you.
Your care team at Newvue Medical will thoroughly explain what you can expect once the gastric balloon is inserted. Once the procedure is complete, you will be on a liquid diet for at least one week before transitioning to soft foods. At the three-week mark, most patients are able to eat regular foods. The gastric balloon may be left in place for up to six months before the balloon is removed using an endoscope. You may choose to have a new balloon placed, or you may not place a new one, depending on the plan you have in place with your doctor. You will also stay in regular contact with other professionals, such as a nutritionist, to create and maintain a plan.
