ทำบอลลูนในกระเพาะอาหาร การลดน้ำหนักด้วยวิธีทางการแพทย์ที่ไม่ต้องผ่าตัด

<p>Gastric balloon is the insertion of a balloon into the stomach using endoscopic techniques, then saline is injected into the balloon to expand it. This reduces the stomach&#8217;s capacity to hold food, making the patient feel full all the time. This method is used to treat overweight patients and assist in weight loss, suitable for losing about 20 kilograms without harming the body. The balloon is typically placed for about 6-12 months, or it can be removed once the desired weight loss is achieved (it is not meant to be permanent).</p>
