SPATZ Gastric Balloon: How It Works and Who It's For

If you're looking for a non-surgical, temporary weight loss solution that doesn’t involve incisions or permanent changes, the SPATZ3 Adjustable Gastric Balloon might be exactly what you need. At Slim Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada, this FDA-approved device offers a customizable approach to help people lose weight and keep it off—especially those who haven’t had success with diet and exercise alone.

How the SPATZ Gastric Balloon Works

The SPATZ3 is a soft, inflatable silicone balloon that’s inserted into the stomach through a quick endoscopic procedure—no surgery required. Once in place, it’s filled with sterile saline to partially fill the stomach and create a feeling of fullness, making it easier to eat less and feel satisfied faster. What makes SPATZ stand out is its adjustability: the balloon’s volume can be increased or decreased even after insertion. This feature allows for greater comfort and enhanced weight loss, depending on your body’s response and your progress.

The balloon remains in place for up to 8 months, during which time patients receive ongoing support through nutrition counseling and follow-up appointments. The team at Slim Vegas ensures that your treatment is customized and safe every step of the way. 

Who Is a Good Candidate?

The SPATZ3 Adjustable Balloon is recommended for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 27 or higher who haven’t had success with traditional weight loss methods. It’s especially ideal for individuals who want a non-permanent, non-surgical jumpstart to their weight loss journey. However, it may not be appropriate for everyone. People with previous gastrointestinal surgeries, certain medical conditions, or women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding may not qualify.

At Slim Vegas, a thorough assessment will determine if this solution is right for you. Their experts take time to understand your health history, lifestyle, and goals before recommending treatment.

When to Consider the SPATZ Balloon

It may be time to consider the SPATZ balloon if you’ve tried everything from diet plans to fitness programs and still struggle to achieve meaningful or lasting weight loss. This treatment is often a turning point for people who feel frustrated and overwhelmed by their lack of progress. If your weight is beginning to affect your energy levels, mobility, or confidence, the SPATZ balloon could be a valuable option. It's also an excellent choice if you're looking for medical guidance and accountability along with an effective tool to help reduce hunger and cravings.
