Guidance
Evidence-based recommendations on swallowable gastric balloon capsules for weight loss in adults. This involves swallowing a capsule containing a balloon that is then filled with liquid to inflate it in the stomach. It stays in the stomach for around 4 months to give a feeling of fullness and temporarily restrict the size of the stomach.
