Gastric balloon.

Understanding this Medical Weight Loss Strategy

A gastric balloon is a non-invasive and non-surgical weight loss procedure. The Spatz3 mechanism is inserted into the patient’s stomach within 15 minutes and is designed to create a feeling of fullness and reduce hunger. This typically leads to the patient eating smaller portions and consuming fewer calories, resulting in weight loss.

Healthy habits.

Assistance in Developing Healthy Habits

Notably, unlike other gastric balloons on the market, the Spatz3 model offered through AGH of Greater Washington offers exclusive adjustability, allowing patients to achieve more effective weight loss results. This feature empowers individuals to listen to their body’s hunger signals and develop healthier eating habits, ensuring long-term weight loss even after the balloon is removed.

Gastric Balloons Prevent Weight Regain

Gastric balloons for non-surgical weight loss typically lose their effectiveness by the fourth month, and patients often start to regain weight. However, with the Spatz3 solution in particular, patients can have the balloon volume increased  if necessary, which helps prevent weight regain.
