Aside from weight loss, gastric bypass surgery may enhance or alleviate conditions commonly associated with obesity, such as:

·         Heart disease.

·         High blood pressure.

·         High cholesterol levels.

·         Sleep apnea.

When individuals with obesity do not see results from diet and exercise or require rapid weight loss for health reasons, a combination of surgical and non-surgical treatment options is considered. The gastric balloon is among the non-surgical methods for stomach reduction. Widely favored by both patients and specialists in recent years, the gastric balloon is a method of obesity treatment appreciated for its ability to achieve rapid weight loss and its non-invasive nature.

The gastric balloon is a simple, painless procedure that takes about 45 minutes, and no hospitalisation is required.
