Elipse Balloon

This bio-degradable balloon is an exciting new development in the field of weight loss surgery.

How does the Elipse Balloon work?

It is packaged into a small pill that can be swallowed. A quick X-ray check is performed before gently inflating it with saline through fine tubing. Your practitioner then pulls the tubing leaving the balloon to sit inside the stomach.

It self-empties approximately 4 months later and then passes out naturally. The action of gastric juice on a special part of the membrane erodes it within the approximate timeframe.

How does the Elipse balloon reduce your appetite?

The Elipse Balloon functions as an appetite suppressant by taking up real estate in the stomach and creating a feeling of being stuffed. In simpler terms, this makes individuals more likely to eat less food throughout the day and thus shrink their overall food intake, leading to weight loss.

There are several advantages of the Elipse Balloon, including:

1. No surgery is required: which makes it a highly appealing option for many patients.

1. No camera endoscopy or anaesthesia required and the whole procedure takes approximately 15 minutes to perform. You are able to return to work and normal activity soon after.

1. Reversible: The Elipse Balloon is removable and does not cause permanent changes to the anatomy of the stomach.
   
2. Safe: The procedure is considered safe and has a low rate of complications.
   

1. Cost-effective: Compared to other weight loss surgeries, the Elipse Balloon is a more affordable solution.
   
2. High Success Rate: The Elipse Balloon has a high success rate in helping individuals achieve significant weight loss in a relatively short period of time.
   

So, in a nutshell, the Elipse Balloon is a top pick for anyone looking to shed some pounds in a low-key, effective, and safe way. It has a lot of pros like not needing surgery, making you feel stuffed, being able to undo it, and being easy on the wallet. And let’s not forget, it’s helped many people get some serious weight loss results. But before making a call, it’s crucial to weigh up the risks, benefits, and alternative options. That’s why getting a second opinion from a healthcare provider is a no-brainer if you’re thinking about the Elipse Balloon.
