The gastric balloon revolution
This temporary weight-loss aide is aimed at adults over the age of 18 who are obese or overweight (BMI ≥ 27). It is used as part of a carefully-monitored weight-loss programme to change the patient’s dietary habits and should be put in place by a trained healthcare professional. It is the first ever weight-loss aide that is swallowed then passed naturally, without the need for surgery, and with a record placement time of 20 minutes. This revolutionary aide empties itself and is passed naturally after 16 weeks.
