Gastric Balloon Removal (Placed Outside the U.S.)
Safe, Expert Removal at EndoSlim Clinic NY
Many patients travel abroad for gastric balloon placement.

Why Patients Come to Us
Balloon placement is only part of the process.
Removal matters just as much.
We see patients who return to the U.S. and need:
- A safe, controlled removal
- Evaluation of symptoms
- A clear plan for what comes next
This isn’t something to rush or cut corners on.
What We Do
At EndoSlim Clinic NY, we specialize in endoscopic gastric balloon removal for devices placed outside the U.S.
This includes:
• Orbera
• Spatz
• Other international balloon systems
Each case is approached individually — based on the type of balloon, duration, and symptoms.
When Removal Is Needed
Sometimes removal is scheduled.
Other times, patients come to us because something doesn’t feel right.
Common reasons include:
- Persistent nausea
- Reflux or discomfort
- Balloon intolerance
- Time for scheduled removal
We evaluate first — then proceed safely.
Why Pre-Procedure Evaluation Is Required
When a balloon is placed internationally, documentation and technique can vary.
That changes how we plan removal.
Before any procedure, we perform:
- Clinical evaluation
- Imaging or endoscopic planning if needed
- Assessment of risks and symptoms
This ensures the removal is controlled — not reactive.
What to Expect
- Balloon removal is performed endoscopically.
- The balloon is deflated and removed carefully under medical supervision.
- Most patients go home the same day.
- Recovery is typically quick.
What Happens After Removal
This is where many patients need guidance.
Once the balloon is out, appetite returns.
Without a plan, weight regain can happen.
We help patients transition into:
• Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)
• Allurion Capsule Balloon (swallowable gastric balloon)
• Medical weight loss (GLP-1 programs)
The goal is not just removal — but continuation.
Important
We do not offer rushed or discount removals.
We focus on safe, medically guided care in a U.S.-based accredited facility.
That’s the difference.

A Message from Dr. Shapsis
Getting a balloon placed abroad is one decision.
What you do next matters just as much.
Safe removal. Careful planning. Proper follow-up.
And just as important — understanding what’s true and what’s not.
Many patients come in with the wrong expectations about intragastric balloons.
Clearing that up early changes outcomes.
