One of the most difficult processes in an intragastric balloon weight loss treatment is to maintain the weight obtained when we remove the balloon.
The balloon removal process is a simple process, just like its placement, the blue-stained serum containing the balloon is removed, and gastroscopy is removed.
Medical follow-up is very important during the months after the intragastric balloon is removed, since it is he who guides us during the maintenance process.
