Obesity Balloon Placement in Ahmedabad

What is Obesity Balloon Placement?
Obesity Balloon Placement (also known as Intragastric Balloon) is a minimally invasive procedure where a soft silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach using an endoscope. The balloon is filled with saline, which reduces stomach capacity and helps patients feel full faster.
