Spatz Balloon Q & A
What is the Spatz Balloon?
The Spatz balloon is a non-surgical weight loss solution that involves placing an adjustable silicone balloon in the stomach. This balloon is designed to promote a feeling of fullness, helping to reduce food intake and encourage healthier eating habits. The Spatz balloon can be adjusted after placement, allowing for tailored treatment according to individual needs. It is typically part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes dietary and lifestyle changes.
Common reasons for choosing the Spatz balloon include:
- Obesity or being overweight
- Difficulty controlling appetite or portion sizes
- Need for additional support in achieving weight loss goals
When Should I Consider the Spatz Balloon?
You may want to consider the Spatz balloon if you have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater and have struggled to lose weight through traditional methods such as diet and exercise. This treatment is especially suitable for individuals seeking a non-surgical approach to kickstart their weight loss journey and improve their overall health.
Dr. Masood Tareen can evaluate your weight loss history and determine if the Spatz balloon is a suitable option for your needs.
What Can I Expect During the Spatz Balloon Procedure?
The Spatz balloon procedure is performed as an outpatient procedure and typically takes about 20-30 minutes. You will receive sedation to ensure comfort during the process. A flexible endoscope is used to insert the deflated balloon into your stomach, where it is filled with saline to create a sense of fullness.
Following the procedure, you may experience mild discomfort, nausea, or bloating as your body adjusts to the balloon. Most patients can resume normal activities soon after, and Dr. Tareen will provide guidance on post-procedure care to help you maximize your weight loss success.
What are the Benefits of the Spatz Balloon?
The Spatz balloon offers a flexible, adjustable, non-surgical option for weight loss that can lead to significant results. It encourages the development of healthier eating habits and provides ongoing support throughout the weight loss journey. Many patients experience considerable weight loss and improved health markers, leading to a better quality of life.
