Innovative Stomach Balloon for Weight Loss

Spatz Medical advises all patients to go through careful consultation with experienced medical professionals. Some people are exempt from stomach balloon weight loss treatment due to underlying medical conditions and previous surgeries.

Intolerance – 1/10 People

According to our research, we have identified that every 1 out of 10 patients experiences intolerance when it comes to stomach balloon implantation. It could be due to an individual’s health factors, pain level, or any other reason.

Loss of Efficiency

The stomach balloon for weight loss can stay inside your body for approximately 12 months. During that time, you can achieve effective weight loss by combining this treatment with healthy behavioral modifications.

In most cases, the intragastric balloon loses efficiency around the 4^th month as the body adjusts to its presence. In such cases, if patients aren’t careful, they can start gaining weight instead of losing it.

The safe and effective Spatz3 intragastric balloon has adjustability features that make it easy for our patients to face both of the common challenges.

Volume-Adjust Down

Your surgeon can reduce the volume of the Spatz3 adjustable gastric balloon in your stomach to reduce any pain or discomfort you might be experiencing after implantation.

Volume-Adjust Up

Around the 4^th month, the balloon starts losing its efficiency. To avoid regaining weight and losing weight loss efficiently during your great progress, your surgeon can increase the balloon’s volume.

How Does the Surgery Take Place?

First, the surgeon will administer intravenous sedation so you don’t experience any pain or discomfort during the whole procedure. Second, the surgeon will insert an endoscope through your mouth until it reaches your stomach. Third, the surgeon will transfer the Spatz3 adjustable gastric balloon to your stomach through the endoscope.

Once the stomach is placed in your stomach, the surgeon will fill it with a sterile saline solution until it’s full or reaches the optimal volume depending on your stomach. On average, it takes 15 minutes to fill the balloon and safely remove the endoscope. After that, the surgeon will advise a one-hour recovery period under their supervision.

Should You Avoid Anything Before Surgery?

The stomach balloon surgery in Saudi Arabia is one of the cheapest and most effective bariatric surgeries to lose weight. However, you should prepare for the surgery in the right way to avoid complications:

Fasting from Midnight

We recommend that you stop eating and drinking for at least six hours or the night before the implantation procedure. If it’s difficult to abstain from drinking and eating from midnight to your afternoon surgery, you can take a small amount of clear liquids at least six hours before the surgery.

Driving Home

Don’t drive yourself home. Instead, ask a close friend or family member to escort you to your home. Leaning on friends and family will also give you a chance to relieve any mental pressure or anxiety post-procedure.

Abstaining from Work

We advise our patients to abstain from getting back to their work routine for at least 4-5 days. It helps them recover effectively and kickstart a healthy diet regime.
