How is the procedure performed?
Balloon adjustments are performed by a gastroenterologist via gastroscopy under light sedation, where saline is added or subtracted through the filling tube attached to the balloon. You can expect your first balloon adjustment around 3 to 4 months after insertion.
After 12 months, the intra-gastric balloon is removed through the mouth in a similar manner, under the same supervised conditions. Post removal, your support team will continue to guide you toward making healthy lifestyle choices.

How much weight do you lose with a Spatz3® Gastric Balloon?
Your success depends on whether you make the necessary dietary and lifestyle adjustments and how well you apply them. A gastric balloon is a tool to aid weight loss and must be used in conjunction with diet, exercise and a behaviour modification program.
Clinical studies show that 76% of patients retain significant weight loss two years after Spatz3® balloon removal. Patients who follow the prescribed programme, engage in exercise and attend dietetic consultations regularly during the implantation period have a better chance of weight loss maintenance after the balloon is removed.
