What is the 12-Month Endoscopic Balloon?

The 12-Month Endoscopic Balloon, offered by Dr. Lance Mayabi, is an advanced, non-surgical weight loss procedure designed to help individuals lose weight effectively and sustainably. This long-term solution involves the placement of a soft, expandable balloon inside the stomach, reducing hunger and promoting portion control. Unlike the standard 6-month gastric balloon, the 12-month balloon stays in place longer, providing extended support for weight loss and habit transformation.

How Does the 12-Month Endoscopic Balloon Work?

The procedure is performed by Dr. Lance Mayabi using endoscopic technology, ensuring safety, comfort, and efficiency.

Step-by-Step Process:

1️⃣ Insertion: The deflated balloon is gently placed into the stomach via an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera).
2️⃣ Filling the Balloon: Once positioned correctly, the balloon is inflated with saline solution, occupying space in the stomach.
3️⃣ Weight Loss Begins: The balloon restricts food intake, helping you feel full faster and consume fewer calories.
4️⃣ Extended Treatment: Unlike traditional balloons, the 12-month balloon remains in the stomach longer, allowing for a gradual and steady weight loss journey.
5️⃣ Safe Removal: After 12 months, Dr. Lance Mayabi safely removes the balloon through a quick endoscopic procedure.

• No surgery
• No incisions
• No permanent alterations to the stomach
