An intragastric balloon is a silicone balloon filled with liquid or air. It is placed in the stomach under anaesthesia in 15-20 minutes with the help of an endoscope. It helps you lose weight by limiting how much you can eat and by making you feel full faster. It can stay in the body between 6 to 12 months and can be removed by an endoscope in 5-6 minutes. You can give 7-8 kilograms in a few months as a result of this method.
