BeMyBariatric: 360° Support to keep the weight off
We don't just place the device; we guide you step-by-step with a medical, nutritional, and psychological plan that guarantees your long-term results.
Specialized Endoscopic Procedure
The gastric balloon is placed precisely, limiting the space in your stomach and eliminating ravenous hunger from day one. Many places just place the balloon and say goodbye to the patient. We do not.
Nutritional & Psychological Re-education
The success of this temporary treatment (typically lasting 6 months) depends on what you learn during that time. Dr. Luis Zavala and our nutrition and psychology team accompany you from start to finish, ensuring you develop permanent healthy habits for when the balloon is removed.
Break the cycle of failed diets without entering the operating room
Clinical Risk and Current Obstacle
Losing weight when you have a high Body Mass Index (BMI) is a massive metabolic challenge. Frustration, constant hunger, and the yo-yo effect can exhaust anyone. It's not a lack of willpower; you need a supportive tool.
The Medical Alternative Our Solution: A non-invasive medical tool
The gastric balloon is not a surgery; it is a cutting-edge medical device that takes up space in your stomach. By limiting its capacity, it allows you to feel satisfied with much smaller portions, marking the beginning of your recovery.
Benefits of choosing the Gastric Balloon for your weight loss
Fast, outpatient procedure
It is placed endoscopically under mild sedation. The entire process takes between 20 and 30 minutes, and you return home the same day.
No incisions or scars
Since it is not a traditional bariatric surgery, your body does not undergo permanent alterations. It is a fully non-invasive and reversible method.
Immediate recovery
Within one or two days, you will be back to your daily life, without prolonged downtime or recovery periods.
Improves overall health
Sustained weight loss helps improve and prevent overweight-related diseases, such as high blood pressure and prediabetes.

Gastric Balloon vs. Bariatric Surgery: Why choose it?
100% Reversible Treatment
While operations like the gastric sleeve or bypass involve permanent modifications to your digestive system, the gastric balloon is a temporary bridge.
Ideal for Mild to Moderate Obesity
It is the stellar choice if your BMI is over 27 or 30, designed for those who do not qualify for major surgery or prefer a conservative medical approach.
Lower Risk and High Effectiveness
The risks are significantly lower compared to traditional surgical interventions, offering extraordinary results when combined with the BeMyBariatric program.
Answering your frequently asked questions about the Gastric Balloon
It is a soft medical device that is introduced deflated through the mouth (via endoscopy) while you are under mild sedation. Once in the stomach, Dr. Luis Zavala fills it with a sterile saline solution. There are no cuts or scars.
It is ideal for people with mild to moderate obesity (BMI over 27) who have not had success with traditional diet and exercise methods, and who are looking to avoid invasive bariatric surgery.
The standard treatment lasts 6 months. During this time, the balloon acts as 'training wheels' to teach you how to eat appropriate portions. Afterward, it is removed using the same quick endoscopic procedure.
At first, while your body adapts to the balloon, it is completely normal to feel nausea, heaviness, heartburn, or stomach upset. Dr. Zavala will prescribe specific medications to manage these symptoms comfortably during the first few days.
Immediately after the procedure, you will start with a strict liquid diet. Gradually, our nutritionist will guide you in the transition to soft foods and, finally, to a solid, balanced, and varied diet.
No, if you take advantage of our 360° program! The balloon helps you lose weight, but our multidisciplinary team helps you change your mindset. The nutritional and emotional re-education you receive will ensure you maintain your results long-term.
No, it is an entirely outpatient procedure. You will stay in recovery for a couple of hours in our world-class facilities and then you can go back to your hotel or home to rest.
