Maureen Kunga: How I lost 10kgs in two months

The gastric balloon is a safe and effective non-surgical weight loss option for those who are not eligible for weight loss surgery. It helps patients achieve significant weight loss without the risks associated with surgery. However, it should be accompanied by healthy lifestyle changes to achieve the best results.

The use of gastric balloon as a weight loss solution has gained popularity among celebrities. Maureen Waititu, a content creator, shared that she lost 22 kilograms in just five months after undergoing the procedure.

"Something happened to my weight. I ended up adding so much weight, I gained over 30kgs and I did a procedure about 5 months ago...Since then, I've lost over 20kgs," she revealed.

Other celebrities, such as actresses Jackie Matubia and Kate Actress, have also opted for the gastric balloon procedure to lose weight.

According to Dr. Pranav Pancholi of Avane Clinic, the procedure is a safer and faster alternative to surgery, endoscopy, or anesthesia. Instead of undergoing invasive procedures, the patient swallows a pill connected to a catheter.

"It is the latest high-tech technology, it is a pill that gets swallowed, then it becomes a ballon, and we fill it with saline once it is in the stomach, which is programmed and stays in the stomach for four months, and you get reduced food intake and it auto destructs after four months," he said.
