Jakarta –
For those of you who might want to try to reduce body weight without surgery, installing a gastric balloon can be an option. According to the Clinical Manager of the Jakarta Slimming Center, Dr. Nathania S Sutisna, SpGK, this procedure allows the patient to suppress their excessive appetite because there is a “blockage” in the form of a balloon in the stomach filled with 550 ml of liquid.
The patient initially swallows a balloon capsule about the size of a knuckle, more or less like a large capsule. After entering the stomach, an imaging process is carried out to see if it is in the perfect position while in the stomach.
The next step, put a special liquid through a thin tube, so that the balloon expands. Prior to the procedure, the patient is also required to fast from food for 4 hours before treatment and two hours to drink.
What are the Side Effects?
“The risk of side effects during 3-7 days of installation is still in the adaptation period, so during the adaptation period the patient can still feel nausea or even vomiting, so it’s like the stomach is still getting to know something new in our organs or our bodies. “explained Dr. Nathania when met by detik.com in the South Jakarta area, Wednesday (16/8/2023).
“So during the process we have to monitor the patient, we will ask the patient if he has eaten how much he drank how much,” he said, ensuring that the patient’s condition would continue to be monitored.
While questioning effectiveness, according to him, it depends on the condition or medical history of each person. All treatments including inserting a gastric balloon will face a moment when the weight feels stuck.
That according to him is a natural thing because the body is still adapting. Patients are advised to regularly follow the recommended dietary pattern, which is low in calories and high in protein.
“If you give up, the effect will be yo-yo,” he ordered.
“But whether this is effective or not, yes it is effective if the indications are right,” he explained.
