What is gastric balloon ?
The gastric balloon operation is a
non-surgical operation that is performed for the purpose of losing weight for those who
suffer from obesity.
The gastric balloon is performed with one or more balloons, where an empty stomach balloon
is inserted into the stomach through the mouth, and then filled with a liquid or gas
solution.
The balloon procedure for slimming is a temporary process; as the balloon is left in the
stomach for a period of six to nine months at most, and then it is taken out as the person
loses excess weight during that period.
While the ballon is inside your stomach it make small portions of food pass through it to
your digestive system making you feel full when you consume small amounts of foods.
There are many types of gastric balloons to choose from; they vary in the materials used to create them or the porpose of their use.
ORBERA
It is a type of gastric balloon, the most common and
widely used in most countries of the
world.
It is a single gastric balloon that is installed into the stomach using an oral endoscope.
It is filled using a catheter to about 500 ml with saline with the addition of a few drops
of blue dye.
This balloon settles in the stomach for about six months, during which a person loses
between 30 and 40 kilograms, at a rate of 30% of the person's main weight.
RESHAPE
It is similar to the Orbera in the way the gastric balloon
is installed, the material with
which the balloon is filled, and the number of kilograms lost.
However the main difference between them is that two balloons are used instead of one, and
this type of balloon is distinguished from the previous type in that it is safer and less
likely to be punctured and removed before its due date.
OBALON
This type is completely different from the previous two
types of gastric balloon, where a
balloon is attached to the stomach through small capsules that are monitored using
X-rays.
More than one capsule can be used to help reduce the largest possible area of the stomach,
and these capsules are filled with nitrogen gas.
