Advantages & Disadvantages of Gastric Bypass
A gastric balloon is a non-surgical, short term weight loss option that
creates a feeling of fullness quicker after smaller meals. It reduces your
hunger allowing you to control your portion sizes and can be used as a stepping
stone on the path to weight loss success. By using dietary advice you can learn
healthy eating habits and change your lifestyle so that you can lose weight
quickly and keep the pounds off long-term.

surgery carries its own advantages and possible disadvantages. That’s
why it’s important to discuss options with your doctor and your bariatric team
to determine which solution is right for you.
