Gastric Balloon

CEGAS

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.

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.
