The benefits of the gastric balloon are that it is a simple, non-invasive procedure. The traditional gastric balloons do require sedation or anesthesia to be inserted under endoscopy and also to be removed 6 or 12 months later. However, the new generation of gastric balloons can actually be swallowed in the office as a capsule, not requiring any kind of sedation, anesthesia, or endoscopy, and the capsule then expands into a balloon, which after four months spontaneously defills itself, and the plastic shell of the balloon makes its way out through the gastrointestinal tract and comes out in a natural bowel movement. you
