Gujarat Samachar Interview

On 23rd March 2014, Gujarat Samachar has carried my interview regarding the 1st BIB procedure in South Gujarat . Its basically a intragastric ballon which is placed in the stomach. This procedure is not a surgery and does not require anesthesia. The patient is discharged after few hours of procedure. Intragastric balloon for weight loss works best for a well educated patient who is motivated for proper eating habits and exercise.

A 500-700ml ballon is placed in stomach endoscopically. Ballon is made of silicon material and causes a sense of fullness and satiety which helps in diet control and thus weight loss. 10-20 kgs of weight loss is expected in obese patients. Superobese patients can loose more than 25 kgs of weight.

There are no scars in these procedures, so people who are very conscious about their looks and body can also opt for BIB
