For many obese individuals, the answer may be an Intragastric Balloon. Doctors use an endoscope to insert a deflated balloon in your stomach and fill the balloon with a sterile saline solution. The inflated balloon is left in place for about six months while you lose weight, learn new ways to eat and turn your health around.

Tune into SMG Radio and listen to Summit Medical Group Gastroenterologist Dr. Hazar Michael explain the medical pros and cons of the Intragastric Balloon.
