What is the Spatz3 Adjustable Gastric Balloon?
The Spatz3 Adjustable Gastric Balloon is a non-surgical, temporary weight loss device designed to help patients control portion sizes and feel full longer. Unlike other gastric balloons, Spatz3 is adjustable, meaning the volume of the balloon can be increased or decreased based on a patient’s progress, optimizing weight loss results over time.
How Does the Spatz3 Adjustable Gastric Balloon Procedure Work?
- The procedure is performed endoscopically under mild sedation and takes about 15-20 minutes.
- A soft silicone balloon is placed into the stomach through the mouth.
- The balloon is filled with saline solution to reduce stomach capacity, promoting portion control and satiety.
- Unlike other gastric balloons, Spatz3 can be adjusted after placement to enhance weight loss or improve patient comfort.
- The balloon remains in place for up to 8 months, longer than traditional 6-month gastric balloons.

Dr. Shapsis recommends the Spatz3 Adjustable Gastric Balloon for its many advantages, including:
- Only FDA-approved adjustable gastric balloon

- Ability to adjust the balloon size to optimize results and manage tolerance
