Gastric Balloon in St Louis

It is non-surgical and is completely different from any diet or exercise program. The gastric balloon in St Louis may be a good weight loss option for people who do not qualify or do not want surgery.

When filled with saline, the balloon helps you lose weight and encourages healthy eating habits by taking up room in your stomach, so there is less space for food. You can still eat the healthy foods you enjoy, but the balloon acts as a built-in portion control, helping you feel full and less hungry.

Studies have shown that weight loss is better than diet and exercise alone and many patients keep the weight off or continue to lose, even after the balloon is removed.
