One of the greatest hurdles for those who struggle with obesity is taking that first step. It’s easy to tell someone to diet and exercise regularly, but many people need something more – something that jumpstarts them to a healthier lifestyle with better eating habits.
Gastric Balloon is a great tool for those who need that extra push. As one of the most affordably-priced weight loss procedures, the costs for gastric balloon ranges from $3,295 in Mexico, up to $14,000 in the United States.

What is the Gastric Balloon?
The Gastric Balloon is a weight loss procedure that inserts a deflated balloon-like device down the throat/esophagus into the stomach directly. The 15-minute long non-surgical procedure is completed while the patient is awake with only a mild sedative.
Once the balloon is placed appropriately into the upper stomach, the doctor inflates/pumps up the balloon with saline solution (or CO2 gas) to a size that reduces stomach capacity and therefore promotes weight loss.
How Gastric Balloon Works
The gastric balloon is used by those who firmly believe they can maintain a healthy diet and exercise but need some help in getting the process started. It is also useful for those that do not qualify for another form of weight loss surgery.
