How is an endoscopic balloon weight loss procedure performed? So endoscopic balloon procedure is performed either under general anesthesia or under sedation and it is basically performed via an upper GI endoscopy which means we put a gastroscope down the throat into the stomach and we insert the balloon via this gastroscope and then we inflate it and make sure it is positioned correctly in the stomach.
