Is a gastric balloon the right option for me?
A gastric balloon is ideal for patients who have been struggling to lose weight, those who need to lose weight before surgery such as a knee replacement operation, or those who want to improve their chances of conceiving. The balloon may be used if you have a BMI between 27 and 35, however, certain risk factors must be considered before the balloon placement. Your doctor will discuss these with you at your initial consultation.
