Gastric Balloon
The gastric balloon is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure where a soft balloon is inserted into the stomach and then filled with saline. This reduces the stomach’s capacity, leading to a feeling of fullness with less food intake.
Benefits of Gastric Balloon:
- Non-Surgical: Since it is non-invasive, there’s no need for incisions or general anesthesia.
- Quick Recovery: Patients can typically return to their normal activities within a few days.
- Temporary: The balloon is usually removed after six months, offering a short-term solution for weight loss.
Gastric Sleeve
The gastric sleeve, or sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical procedure that removes a large portion of the stomach, leaving a banana-shaped “sleeve.” This permanently reduces the stomach’s capacity, leading to significant weight loss.
Benefits of Gastric Sleeve:
- Significant Weight Loss: Patients typically lose a substantial amount of weight, making it an effective long-term solution.
- Reduced Hunger: The procedure also removes the part of the stomach that produces ghrelin, the hunger hormone, which helps in reducing appetite.
Which is Right for You?
Choosing between the gastric balloon and gastric sleeve depends on various factors, including your weight loss goals, medical history, and personal preferences.
