Case description

Endoscopic View of Intragastric Balloon Is a balloon with a triple shell of air molded silicone and both have polymerized interiors totally biocompatible, that permits a better homogeneity with its thickness. This mechanism reduces to a minimum the possibility of migration. The Gastric Balloon is inflated with air and its maximum weight is between 26 and 28 grams. The life expectancy of the Gastric Balloon is between 6 and 7 months, at which time it has to be removed in the same way it was placed with the help of the gastroscope as an ambulatory procedure.
