Weight loss surgeon inserts the balloon in the stomach through the mouth without any surgery. The balloon is then filled with sterile saline so that the balloon gets expanded and starts floating freely in the stomach.

Before inserting the balloon in the stomach the patient is examined with endoscopic camera. After ensuring that there is no abnormality the balloon is inserted in the stomach and filled with sterile saline through a small filling tube. The balloon has a self sealing valve which gets sealed automatically and starts floating freely.

Usage of BIB system for longer period is not recommended. If required the balloon can be replaced with a new one after a six month period of interval.
