Gastric Balloon Procedure with Dr. Lance Mayabi
Dr. Lance Mayabi, Bariatric & Endoscopic Weight Loss Specialist, Nairobi
A Non-Surgical Weight Loss Solution
What is a Gastric Balloon?
Under the expert care of Dr. Lance Mayabi, the gastric balloon procedure offers a safe, non-surgical solution for individuals struggling with weight management. This temporary weight loss method involves placing a soft, expandable balloon in the stomach to help control portion sizes and reduce hunger. The balloon remains in place for 4 to 12 months, allowing patients to achieve gradual, sustainable weight loss.
How Does the Gastric Balloon Work?
At Dr. Lance Mayabi’s clinic, the procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and performed under mild sedation. Here’s how it works:
- Insertion – A deflated balloon is inserted into the stomach using an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera).
- Filling the Balloon – The balloon is then inflated with a saline solution or gas, expanding to occupy space in the stomach.
- Weight Loss Begins – The balloon limits food intake, helping you feel full faster and consume fewer calories.
- Removal – After the recommended duration, Dr. Lance Mayabi safely removes the balloon endoscopically.
This entire process is performed without surgery, incisions, or long recovery times.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Gastric Balloon?
- Dr. Lance Mayabi recommends the gastric balloon for individuals who:
Have a BMI between 27 and 40 - Have struggled with diet and exercise alone
- Want a non-surgical weight loss option
- Are committed to healthy lifestyle changes
It is not suitable for individuals with severe acid reflux, previous stomach surgeries, or certain gastrointestinal conditions. A consultation with Dr. Lance Mayabi will determine if this is the right option for you.
