Intragastric balloon for weight loss

Recently my surgeon mentioned that I could lose weight with an intragastric balloon. Any suggestions?

Most people fail to lose weight with diet therapies. Others are lazy and do not exercise. Drugs do work, but have serious side effects. Various types of surgery procedures have been developed to help people lose weight.  One old surgical method is to insert a silicone intragastric balloon. It is claimed that the balloon keeps the stomach full and one does not feel hungry.
So does it work?

Of course not. This is BS. Please change your surgeon. He /she is nothing more than a fraud for suggesting such an outdated crappy treatment. There is no convincing evidence that intragastric balloon helps people lose weight. The only weight you will lose is the 1000s of dollars from your pockets-because the procedure is expensive and there are no refunds if it does not work.  Remember, Some Surgeons and Wall Street Financiers have the same mentality-“how can we screw people?”
