SPATZ Intragastric Balloon

SPATZ Intragastric Balloon Treatment at YNB Health Care: A Revolutionary Weight Loss Solution

The SPATZ adjustable gastric balloon treatment is an innovative weight loss solution for individuals struggling with excess weight. This non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure involves the placement of a soft, adjustable balloon inside the stomach to help reduce food intake, making patients feel fuller with smaller amounts of food. The SPATZ gastric balloon is designed to support patients in achieving significant weight loss and improving overall health, making it a highly effective treatment for those who have struggled with conventional weight loss methods.

At YNB Health Care, we specialize in SPATZ gastric balloon treatments, offering personalized care with a team of experienced healthcare professionals dedicated to helping you achieve your weight loss goals. This treatment is ideal for individuals with a BMI of 27 or above who have not had success with traditional weight loss approaches such as dieting and exercise.

What to Expect from SPATZ Intragastric Balloon Treatment

The SPATZ adjustable gastric balloon treatment begins with an initial consultation where our expert healthcare provider will assess your suitability for the procedure based on your health history, weight loss goals, and medical tests. Once you’re cleared for the procedure, the balloon is inserted into the stomach through a non-surgical method known as gastroscopy.

The procedure is performed under anesthesia and typically takes no more than 20 minutes. After the balloon is placed in the stomach, it is filled with saline solution to make it inflate and take up space in the stomach. This reduces the stomach's capacity, leading to a sensation of fullness after consuming smaller portions of food.

Once the balloon is successfully placed, you will be closely monitored for any potential complications. Your healthcare provider will give you specific post-procedure instructions, including diet and lifestyle recommendations, to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
