Additional information
The intragastric balloon is the gentlest procedural step in weight loss — a fully non-surgical, reversible option for people who have not reached their goal with diet and exercise alone, and who are not ready for (or do not qualify for) surgery or an endoscopic sleeve.
A soft balloon is placed into the stomach endoscopically — through the mouth, with no incision, no scar, and no permanent change to your anatomy. Once filled, it occupies space so you feel full on smaller portions, giving structure and momentum to a supervised nutrition programme. Placement is done under sedation as a day procedure, and most patients go home the same day. At the end of the treatment period, the balloon is removed the same way it was placed — leaving nothing behind.
The balloon is a tool, not a cure: results depend on the individual and on how the accompanying programme is followed. That is why our package is built around medical supervision and structured nutrition follow-up for the full balloon period — not just the placement itself.
Why patients choose the gastric balloon at YOUNIFY Clinic:
Truly non-surgical and reversible — the lowest-commitment procedural option in weight management
Endoscopic placement under sedation; no incision, no scar, same-day discharge for most patients
Structured follow-up with our medical team throughout the balloon period, continued by video after you return home
Honest triage within a full-spectrum weight centre: if your BMI, history or goals point instead to an endoscopic sleeve (ESG), medication-supported care, or surgery, we will tell you — before you commit
Physician-led, evidence-based clinic; medical team background includes postdoctoral research at Brigham and Women's Hospital / Harvard Medical School and at Mayo Clinic
Silom, central Bangkok — five minutes' walk from BTS Sala Daeng, daily 11:00–20:00, English-speaking staff, WhatsApp coordination
International and Muslim-friendly patient support: patients from the GCC and Muslim-majority countries are warmly welcomed — privacy and modesty respected, a female physician can be requested where available, halal dining widely available around Silom, and placement timing can be planned around Ramadan so the adjustment period does not collide with fasting.
A gastric balloon is not appropriate for everyone — previous stomach surgery, certain GI conditions and some medications affect eligibility, which is confirmed after specialist consultation and endoscopic assessment.
Individual results may vary. Please consult a physician before undergoing any procedure.

About the clinic
Gastric balloon placement at YOUNIFY Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, offers a non-surgical way to manage weight. This procedure typically helps patients lose between 10% and 15% of their total body weight. The clinic provides expert care under the guidance of specialists trained at institutions like Harvard Medical School and the Mayo Clinic.
The Procedure and Weight Loss Results
The gastric balloon is a temporary medical device. Doctors place it in the stomach using an endoscope. This method does not require any surgical incisions. Once the balloon is inside, the doctor fills it with saline or gas. This takes up space in the stomach to help you feel full faster. You will naturally eat smaller portions because of this sensation. The treatment is temporary and usually lasts for six to twelve months. Most patients return home the same day as the procedure.
