How is the procedure performed? Gastric balloon is placed into the stomach through the mouth with the help of a gastroscope that goes through the mouth and into the stomach. The balloon is then filled with 500-700 ml of fluid (saline) and a blue dye. The procedure is performed under sedation and takes 15-20 minutes.
To make the balloon bigger (hypertrophy), one can either add more water to the balloon, thereby stretching it to its maximum capacity (increase cell volume) or one could theoretically add more rubber (balloon material) to make the overall size of the balloon larger (increase in contractile protein).
