After visited the other forum talking about gastric band and this forum about gastric balloon,
just thought it might be good to have a comparison between these two.
The major difference between gastric balloon and gastric band is that the procedure for gastric
balloon is non-invasive, and the procedure for gastric band requires invasive surgery. Since
there is more risk involved with gastric band, so it requires longer period of time to recover.
For patients who look for a temporary weight loss solution, gastric balloon is the option for
them, because they can return to normal life within a short time. While for patients who have a
larger weight loss goal, gastric band should be considered. When done properly and effectively,
gastric band could lose about 10% more than those with gastric balloon.

However, since it seems like quite complex for both methods and there might even be quite a bit
of risk involved in gastric band, so it would be a good idea to try to search for other methods
if possible. A particular diet focuses on take fat burning foods and negative calorie foods more
often. This type of food would increases metabolism and requires more calories to digest.
