Gastric Balloon

Gastric Balloon is a temporary, non-surgical weight-management option. The clinic describes a procedure involving placement of a balloon in the stomach, where it usually remains for six months. It is available at Malone Medical Chambers and Pines Hospital. No equipment specification, price, appointment duration, preparation instructions, aftercare package or removal protocol is stated in the service details.

The clinic describes the option as ideal for people living with obesity. This is a general service description, not a confirmation of eligibility. A consultation should establish whether a gastric balloon is appropriate for you and explain the placement and removal process, expected dietary changes, monitoring and support. The balloon is temporary, so ask what happens when the six-month period ends and how longer-term weight-management goals are supported.

No preparation evidence is listed. Before booking, request clear instructions about eating and drinking before the procedure, medication management, recovery, activity, dietary progression and symptoms that require medical advice. Because the balloon remains in place for a stated period, treatment timing is measured in months rather than repeated weekly sessions. Medical procedures can carry risks and may be unsuitable for some people. Discuss relevant…
