Abstract

The intragastric balloon is an excellent nonsurgical alternative for weight loss. The placement procedure is standardized but some measures are needed to guarantee its safety. Kinking of the device, twisting into the mouth, and obstruction of the tip of the catheter in the stomach are troublesome situations that may arise during the procedure. This chapter aims to demonstrate examples of difficulties during the implantation of the balloon and to suggest alternatives to solve these problems.
