Explore two gastric balloon approaches at ACC Evesuite Medical Centre, then discuss which option may be appropriate for you with our medical team.
A gastric balloon is a temporary weight-management device designed to occupy space in the stomach, helping you feel fuller sooner and support portion control.
It is a tool within a broader treatment plan, not a standalone shortcut.
The balloon occupies space in your stomach to help you feel full sooner.
Feeling fuller can help support portion control and eating changes.
Use the treatment period to work on healthier routines and behaviours.
Your clinician will explain the expected treatment duration and completion plan.
Everything you need at a glance, before you speak with the medical team.

Gastric balloon treatment is a medical intervention. Suitability, risks, benefits, duration, expected results and aftercare vary between individuals.
Medical assessment
Personalised planning
Ongoing support
Still deciding? Start with the basics, then bring your questions to your consultation.
The key practical difference is placement: the endoscopic option uses an endoscopic procedure, while the swallowable option is designed around swallowing the balloon.
Duration depends on the specific balloon system and treatment protocol. Your clinician will explain the expected timeline.
Suitability is determined through medical assessment. A consultation is the best way to understand whether either option may be appropriate.
No. The balloon is a treatment tool intended to support a wider weight-management plan, including appropriate nutrition and lifestyle changes.
Results vary between individuals and depend on the balloon system, your starting point, and how closely you follow the clinical and lifestyle plan. Your clinician will discuss realistic expectations with you.
Some people experience temporary nausea, discomfort or changes in eating patterns after placement. Your care team will explain likely effects, warning signs and how support is provided during the early period.
Completion follows the protocol for your chosen balloon. Ongoing nutrition guidance and follow-up remain important so habits built during treatment can continue after the device is gone.
Recovery and return-to-activity guidance depend on the placement method and your individual response. Your clinician will give clear instructions based on the option that is right for you.
Start with a conversation. Our team can help you understand the two approaches and arrange the appropriate medical assessment.
