Obesity Control Center - The Obesity Control Center is the world leader in weight-loss surgeries

Obesity Control Center pioneered a technique that has come to be known as the gastric balloon. Today it continues to be one of the world’s premier weight loss procedures and an important non-surgical option available through the Obesity Control Center.

The concept of this weight loss approach is really quite simple. A “balloon,” as we call it, is inserted and inflated inside your stomach. Picture a small melon inflated in your stomach, occupying the space that normally your second plateful or extra dessert would occupy. In our opinion, gastric balloons are the best non-surgical option for gastric restriction.

As simple as this is, however, the procedure is not necessarily for everyone. If you are the ideal candidate though you could benefit from a temporary non-invasive, non-surgical procedure like the balloon that can help you change your eating habits, produce weight loss and ultimately change your life.

The key is to determine the weight loss option that best fits your needs. Your comfort level is important to us and we strongly encourage you to contact us so that we can discuss your personal situation. It is essential that you educate yourself on all available options and procedures and then make an informed decision.
