Dr. Christine Ren Fielding is now offering the weight loss balloon. This is a non-surgical option for adult patients with a BMI between 30 and 40. The weight loss balloon is placed into the stomach while the patient is under light-sedation. It is then filled with saline, so that it takes up substantial room in the stomach.

The balloon stays in place for 6 months, at which point it is removed. During the 6 months, patients follow nutritional and exercise plans to lose weight. In clinical studies, we see that patients lost about three times as much weight when they had a ballon, compared to those patients who worked on making diet and exercise changes alone.

If you are interested in the balloon, please contact Dr. Ren Fielding.
