Gastric Balloon Removal
How do you remove a gastric balloon?
Removing a gastric balloon involves a simple endoscopic procedure with sedation. You will be breathing on your own, but the sedation drugs will make sure you are not feeling any pain and are not aware of what is going on.
It’s important to take some steps to make sure there is no solid food present in your stomach that could lead to aspiration into your lungs at the time of removal.

How do I prepare for a gastric balloon removal?
. Before the gastric balloon removal procedure—generally 48 hours prior—begin taking the prescribed heartburn medication as directed by your physician. This medication is designed to help counteract any reflux or heartburn that may occur during or after your gastric balloon removal.
. For your gastroenterologist to remove the gastric balloon, there must be no solid food in your stomach. This can be achieved by refraining from solid foods for 48 hours prior to the gastric balloon removal procedure. During this time, taking small, frequent sips of low-calorie carbonated beverages, such as diet soda or sparkling water, can help settle your stomach and clean the gastric balloon of any remaining food particles.
The carbonation in the diet soda helps to clean the balloon and also move solid food out of the stomach. You should also having nothing at all to eat or drink for 12 hours prior to the procedure as you will be sedated.
. Arrange for a ride home: Due to the mild sedative used during the brief procedure, you will need to stay in-house until the sedative’s effects wear off. Gastroenterology Associates requires that you have a ride home planned before the procedure can take place, as it is not recommended that you drive or operate heavy machinery for 8 hours following sedation.

How is the gastric balloon removed?
. The balloon is normally removed in the same way it was placed, via the mouth.
. As with the placement of the balloon your surgeon will introduce a catheter through your mouth and into your stomach.
. They will then puncture and deflate the balloon.

The process should take 20-30 minutes and you will be observed for a time afterward to ensure that you are able to be released.
