No surgery, no general anesthesia (Allurion), no permanent changes. A temporary device that helps you lose 10–15% of your body weight while you rebuild your eating habits with our medical team.
Gastric balloonNon-surgical · 10–15% weight loss
A gastric balloon is a soft silicone device that gets placed inside your stomach to take up space — so smaller meals make you feel full. It is the only bariatric tool that does not involve surgery, does not permanently change your anatomy, and gets removed (or self-deflates) after a defined period.
We offer two options at GOG, both at the same USD $5,000 price point: Allurion (a swallowed capsule balloon that inflates and self-deflates after 16 weeks — no anesthesia, no endoscopy) and Intragastric balloon (a traditional balloon placed endoscopically under light sedation, removed after 6 months).
All-inclusive package. No hidden fees. Quote confirmed within 24 hours of your virtual consultation.

Basic labs and a brief gastroenterology consult to rule out contraindications.
Allurion: swallow the capsule (15 minutes, no anesthesia). Intragastric: endoscopic placement under light sedation (30 minutes, same day discharge).
Nausea and discomfort for 2–5 days. Liquids only initially, soft foods within a week.
Allurion: 16 weeks. Intragastric: 6 months. Bi-weekly remote check-ins with the team.
Allurion deflates and passes naturally. Intragastric removed endoscopically.
