Obese people have a much higher risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, diseases of the blood vessels of the heart and brain, lung diseases and difficulty breathing during sleep (obstructive apnea), liver and gall bladder diseases (stones), and they have twice the risk for the development of arthritis, hormone and endocrine gland disorders, as well as blood clotting.

The intragastric balloon works in two ways: reducing the capacity of the stomach and slowly emptying the stomach. The balloon itself takes up space in the stomach, reducing its overall capacity. In this way, the feeling of satiety is quickly achieved, and the person has no further need for food intake, i.e. a large amount of calories. Also, the function of the balloon is to slowly empty the stomach, so the feeling of satiety lasts significantly longer.

The procedure itself is a completely non-surgical method, so the doctor performs the procedure using the endoscopic method. The slimming balloon is inserted endoscopically into the stomach through the mouth and esophagus. In addition to a gastroenterologist, this procedure is followed by: an endocrinologist, a nutritionist and a psychologist. Our goal is for the patient to have the support of a doctor who will monitor his condition throughout the entire process.
