Programme for the treatment of obesity using the 365 gastric balloon
A gastric balloon is a soft, silicone medical device which is placed into the stomach. As it is partially filled with saline, the balloon allows the patient to experience a feeling of fullness and satiety after eating a much smaller meal than before. Patients undergoing this treatment can expect to lose even 15-20 kg of body weight.
The package includes:
- Medical qualification;
- Balloon placement;
- 2 consultations with an internist/bariatrician (for a 12-month balloon);
- 4 consultations with a dietitian;
- Balloon removal after 12 months;
- During the qualification process, the doctor may order additional tests and/or examinations that are not included in the package.
