Based on some preliminary estimates, it is reported that individuals carrying intra-gastric balloons inside their body tend to lose 15-20 percent of their total body weight during the first six months of the treatment. Moreover, the total body weight loss figures around 45-50 % of the weight in excess.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicsaudia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Best-gastric-balloon-Clinic-in-Saudi-Arabia-Riyadh.png\" alt=\"Best gastric-balloon Clinic in Saudi Arabia &amp;
