Abstract
The Intragastric Balloon (IGB) is an endoscopic method to reduce weight within a short period. It is less invasive and cheaper than bariatric surgery, but can only be left in the stomach for 6 months. This is a well known procedure since the eighties, and it has been refreshed in the nineties, with a new generation of devices that have been more reliable and safer. This technique provides only a temporary weight-loss, which can be sustained further on if the proper diet counselling is not discontinued.
