12-Month Gastric Balloon in Málaga

At Clínica Obesis in Málaga, we specialize in the use of 12-month gastric balloons, such as SPATZ and ORBERA 365. We have extensive experience in the application of these devices, which are duly authorized both in Europe and the United States.

Spatz Balloon

Orbera 365 Balloon

The 12-month gastric balloon is a device that is placed in the stomach through an endoscopic procedure.
This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, does not require hospitalization, and is carried out under sedation in approximately 30 minutes.
It is recommended for individuals who are approximately 30 kilograms overweight.
Most of the weight loss occurs in the first six months of use. However, a distinctive advantage of the 12-month balloon over the 6-month balloon is the opportunity to support the patient for an extended period, promoting a more effective and sustainable change in eating habits.
