“…However, in a comparative study, patients undergoing saline-filled balloon therapy (4.66 ± 4.75) lost considerably more weight than patients undergoing air-filled balloon surgery ( P < 0.001). The variation in early withdrawal rates between the two groups, on the other hand, was minor ( P = 0.21)[ 71 ]. With the air-filled IGB, the balloon is inflated with a specific gas, such as air or a mixture of air and nitrogen, using a catheter or a small tube connected to the balloon.…”

“…In the therapy group, the responder rate was 64.3%, defined as %TBWL > 5%. Minor AEs, such as abdominal pain and nausea, occurred in most patients, with only one serious AE, which was a gastric ulcer in a patient who violated the research protocol by using a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine[ 71 ]. Mion et al [ 74 ] reported a prospective feasibility study, and all balloons were retrieved via upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy 12 wk after the ingestion of the first balloon.…”

Obesity rates have increased, and so has the need for more specific treatments. This trend has raised interest in non-surgical weight loss techniques that are novel, safe, and straightforward. Thus, the present review describes the endoscopic bariatric treatment for obesity, its most recent supporting data, the questions it raises, and its future directions. Various endoscopic bariatric therapies for weight reduction, such as intragastric balloons (IGBs), aspiration therapy (AT), small bowel endoscopy, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, endoluminal procedures, malabsorption endoscopic procedures, and methods of regulating gastric emptying, were explored through literature sourced from different databases. IGBs, AT, and small bowel endoscopy have short-term effects with a possibility of weight regain. Minor adverse events have occurred; however, all procedures reduce weight. Vomiting and nausea are common side effects, although serious complications have also been observed.
