For those who are overweight or moderately obese who have found it difficult to reduce weight with diet and exercise alone, gastric balloons are frequently advised. They provide a less intrusive option to surgical weight loss techniques like sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass, and they can be especially helpful for people who would rather not have surgery or are not suitable for it. Although they are not a long-term fix, gastric balloons can encourage the adoption of healthy behaviors and assist jumpstart weight loss attempts. Patients must continue to follow a healthy diet and exercise routine after the balloon is removed in order to sustain their weight reduction gains. Although gastric balloons are typically safe, during the first adjustment phase, they may produce pain, nausea, and vomiting, among other adverse effects.
