At Novomed, we offer the latest capsule gastric balloons that need only 15 minutes for placement and done under Xray with no need for endoscopy or sedation. The best part about the capsule balloon procedure is that there is no need to remove it as it passes out naturally after 4 months. The other kind of gastric balloons is the endoscopic balloon (Orbera, Lax Ball, Spatz). Which is placed using a endoscope and is removed after 6-12 months using endoscope.
