Hello :-)

This is Balance Lab, here to help with weight loss while considering your health!

Dieting is a lifelong challenge.

These days, more people are losing weight not just through exercise or diet control alone, but by getting help through various methods to achieve faster and clearer results.

For a healthy diet, BIB balloon is getting a lot of attention.

Now is the time to stop only admiring slim friends or celebrities who seem to never gain weight, and instead look for an obesity solution so that you can become the object of that admiration yourself.

There are many people who cannot even imagine feeling full after eating just a little.

Unless they have poor digestion and feel bloated, or have some kind of illness, it can make you wonder whether it is really possible to restrain your diet on your own while feeling this way.

What is a BIB balloon?

The BIB balloon introduced today helps you feel full earlier and consume less food.

Using an endoscope, a small balloon is placed inside the stomach so that it occupies part of the stomach space, helping you feel full even after eating less.

Because it is not performed through an incision, but by using a thin endoscopic tube to insert a rubber membrane, there is no need to worry about scars.

It is also a major advantage that the procedure can be completed quickly.

Can anyone receive it?

Although it is a simple method that takes about 10 minutes, it is not something just anyone can receive.

Even though the procedure may seem uncomplicated, a total of 9 tests must be performed, so depending on an individual’s physical condition or status, it may not be possible to receive help.

For a healthy diet, a detailed assessment of the body’s condition through essential tests is necessary.

If an appropriate determination is made through this process, the balloon can be selected.

So what tests are needed?

  1. Ultrasound, InBody, metabolic balance, oxidative stress, and antioxidant capacity are checked.

  2. Intestinal microbiota, various hormones, and blood tests are performed.

  3. Organic acids and NK cell activity are examined.

  4. Finally, a consultation is conducted to review lifestyle habits.

The time spent on the essential tests may actually be longer than the time needed to insert the balloon through endoscopy.

Because the body is examined so carefully in order to produce positive results and provide stable support, it can help guide you toward a healthy diet.

Rather than only receiving surgical help, it would be better to choose a place where internal medicine medical staff also participate and can check your condition, right?

Will it be a burden on the body?

Since it is a method that is inserted into the body, many people may naturally worry about it.

This healthy diet method involves inserting a BIB balloon inside the stomach using a thin endoscopic tube, then filling the balloon with sterile saline so that it expands and helps smoothly control food intake.

It does not remain in the body forever. After 6 months, it is removed using the same method with a thin tube, so there is no need to worry too much.

There is also no need to worry about scars, which is why many people are curious about this method these days.

Because no hospitalization is separately required, and you can return to daily life after 3 to 4 days, it is a method that can also be easily recommended to people who work.

After reaching the target weight, when 6 months have passed, it is removed in the same way, allowing intake to be restricted so you do not eat too much.

If you have repeatedly failed at dieting because you could not control your diet before, this six-month period can be of considerable help, so it may be worth choosing.

What effects can you expect?

Using the BIB balloon, it is possible not only to reduce meal portions for just 6 months, but also to turn this into a habit so that you can continue eating less.

Exercising and controlling meal portions to lose weight are natural.

However, not everyone can exercise for 2 hours a day, so many people inevitably diet by reducing their food intake.

Or even if you exercise, if you keep eating as much as you burn, you cannot expect to lose weight, so this can help people in such situations.

If you are gaining weight even though you do not eat much? If you are eating less than others but are still gaining weight easily, it is necessary not only to control your diet but also to look at the body’s balance.

One of the characteristics is that you may feel unwell and lack energy.

To give a simple example, it can be said to be like taking supplements because it is hard to get the nutrients you need from the food you normally eat alone.

In this way, the nutrients needed by the body can be supplemented through intravenous fluids.

If you do not pay attention, things that are prone to deficiency are better managed.

Whatever procedure you are considering, it is best to carefully review it, undergo an examination, and then decide.

It is good to learn in advance about any side effects that may occur and to continue a healthy diet while working with a place that can help prevent them.
