Other Weight Loss Procedures

What do non-surgical weight loss procedures cost?
Options like the intragastric balloon cost less than surgery, while revision procedures vary case by case. A consultation gives you an exact figure for your situation.

How much weight can I lose with a balloon?
Balloon placement typically helps people lose 10 to 15 kg over six months, provided the diet plan is followed alongside.

Are these procedures safe?
The balloon is placed endoscopically without any cuts, making it a low-risk option. Revision surgery is more complex than a first operation, so it needs an experienced team.

What is the recovery like?
Balloon patients usually go home the same day and adjust within a week. Revision surgery recovery is similar to primary bariatric surgery, about two weeks back to routine.

How many sessions are needed?
The balloon needs two short sessions: one to place it and one to remove it after about six months. Revision surgery is a single operation.

What side effects should I expect?
Nausea and cramps are common in the first days after balloon placement and settle with medication. Revision patients may need a longer dietary transition.

Which option is right for me?
If your BMI is moderate or you want to avoid surgery, the balloon is worth discussing. If a previous weight loss surgery has stopped working, revision is the route to evaluate.
