In particular, I do not recommend the gastric balloon because it makes the stomach grow and becomes thicker and when you remove it, more food enters and you regain the lost weight, instead you can make a gastric sleeve of 50-60% that will give you better results in the long term
I think that the gastric balloon can help you lose some weight, the disadvantage that I see is that when you remove it the stomach will be bigger and thicker, which will favor more food to enter and recover the little weight lost, I am in favor of gastric sleeve surgery that has better results...
Hi!, for your BMI the gastric sleeve is a good option, we give at our patients attention with psychologist and nutritionist, and 1 year post operative consultation with doctors
