A: The procedure is done endoscopically under light sedation or monitored anesthesia (MAC). Most patients are discharged the same day and can return to regular activities within hours.

Q: What if I’m unsure what type of balloon I have?
A: That’s okay. Dr. Shapsis can identify the balloon type during consultation or during the procedure itself.

Q: How long does it take?
A: The entire process — including prep, sedation, and recovery — takes about 1–2 hours.

Q: Is it painful?
A: Most patients report minimal or no discomfort thanks to gentle techniques and proper sedation.

Q: Can I start a new weight-loss program afterward?
A: Absolutely. EndoSlim Clinic NY offers medical weight-loss programs, including GLP-1 medications (such as Mounjaro®, Zepbound®, and Ozempic®), plus nutritional counseling and non-surgical options to help you stay on track.
