Weight Loss in Belgium
Swallowable Gastric Balloon
Swallowable gastric balloons are inflatable devices placed in the stomach through the esophagus for weight loss. Once inflated, they restrict food intake by taking up space and promoting a feeling of fullness. However, they must be removed after six months due to potential complications such as leakage or obstruction.
In Belgium:
A swallowable gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight loss solution where a silicone balloon is placed in the stomach to restrict food intake, helping patients feel full faster and eat less. In Belgium, this treatment is available for around 3000 EUR to 5000 EUR with an average waiting time of 1-2 months.
Additional:
Patients undergo a preparation period before the balloon insertion and follow a specific diet during the treatment. The balloon remains in place for 6 months, after which it is removed through natural means.
