Long-term Maintenance of Weight Loss Following Removal of Intragastric Balloon

Obesity is a global epidemic with increasing prevalence. Bariatric endoscopy provides a novel method of weight loss intervention that is minimally invasive. Intragastric balloon (IGB) installation is one such intervention that results in temporary weight loss though its long-term applications remain controversial. Author concluded that IGB likely requires early intensive lifestyle intervention adjuncts to produce long-term results.

Risks

• Pain and nausea affect about one-third of people soon after insertion of an intragastric balloon. However, these symptoms usually only last for a few days after balloon placement. These symptoms can usually be managed with oral medications at home.

• Although rare, serious side effects may occur after intragastric balloon placement. Call the doctor immediately if nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain occur any time after surgery.

• A potential risk includes balloon deflation. If the balloon deflates, there's also a risk that it could move through your digestive system. This can cause a blockage that may require an additional procedure or surgery to remove the device.

• Other possible risks include overinflation, acute pancreatitis, ulcers or a hole (perforation) in the stomach wall, which might require surgery to fix.
