It’s interesting to think of using a balloon to lose weight. It makes sense that having a balloon in your stomach would help you feel full sooner, that’s for sure. I need to shed some pounds, so maybe I should look into this balloon method.
It’s a good option for patients who need to lose 20-40 lbs and are committed to long-term change.

Hi i had the gastric sleeve years ago and since regained all my weight back. Is it possible to get gastric balloon to syart losing again ?
Thx Randi
A balloon is not possible in a patient who had a sleeve. I’d probably recommend conversion to a gastric bypass, or a SIPS.

Can you get another balloon put in after the other one is removed for another 6 months or shorter?
Yes but it is recommended to wait at least a month between balloons otherwise the additional weight loss is minimal.

I have a gastric baloon, was wondering how soon I can have anotherone pUT in when this one comes out?
We have done a few removals and replacements in the same procedure but the results are not so good with the 2nd balloon, so now we recommend removal, then replacement a month later.

After the procedure, how much down time is usually needed? or can you continue with normal activity?
Most balloon patients need 3-5 days to recover before going back to work and resuming normal activities.

Hi, can the balloon be used in conjunction with other medical non surgical weight loss aids, such as injections, prescriptions, and or supplements?
And are balloon patients recommended to adopt a regimen of vitamins similar to the way in which gastric surgery patients are required to do?
Thank you for your time.
Yes we frequently use medical weight loss in conjunction with gastric balloons. I believe our dietitians just recommend a quality multivitamin for balloon patients.
