A healthy transformation without surgery or scars.
The gastric balloon is a comprehensive medical program designed for people seeking to lose weight safely. It involves temporarily placing a soft balloon in the stomach to promote early satiety.
By taking up space in the stomach, the balloon helps you feel satisfied with smaller portions, making it easier to adopt new eating habits without feeling hungry.
It is a 20-minute outpatient endoscopic procedure. It is performed under light sedation, with no incisions or surgery, and the patient returns home the same day.
It depends on your commitment to lifestyle changes, but patients typically lose between 10 and 25 kg during the program, always supported by our nutrition team.

What those who trust CEGAS say
Our patients’ peace of mind is our best indicator of quality. These are some of the experiences shared by those who have visited our clinic at Plaza San Fernando.
I was very afraid of having an endoscopy, but the CEGAS team made me feel very calm. The process was quick, with no discomfort at all, and the doctor’s explanation was very clear. Excellent care in San Fernando.

I loved the comprehensive approach. They did not just give me a diet; we worked on how stress was affecting my digestion. My quality of life has improved tremendously.

I went in for a chronic gastritis problem that no one had been able to control. At CEGAS, they not only gave me the right treatment, but also explained the causes in a simple way. The human touch is exceptional.

The clinic is spotless and very well located on Vía España. The appointment process is organized, and I did not have to wait too long. Very professional in every way.

It is incredible that such an advanced test as capsule endoscopy can be done so easily. I did not feel anything, and the diagnosis was accurate. A great technological option in Panama.

I took my father for his follow-up colonoscopy. We were nervous, but the doctors’ professionalism gave us great confidence. Without a doubt, the best gastroenterology center.
