The hospital shared the news on Friday via its official X platform, describing the procedure as a safe, minimally invasive solution designed to support adults struggling with weight loss through conventional means.<\/p>\n

“Our hospital is proud to introduce Gastric Balloon Placement\u2014a safe and effective procedure designed to help you achieve your health goals!” the hospital wrote.<\/p>\n

The gastric balloon, which typically remains in the stomach for about six months, works by reducing stomach capacity, promoting a feeling of fullness, and helping patients adopt healthier portion control and eating habits. <\/p>\n

The service is targeted at adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 27 and 40 who have not seen results from diet and exercise alone.<\/p>\n

In addition to the procedure, KFHR offers comprehensive patient support, including nutrition counselling and ongoing follow-up care to help ensure lasting outcomes.<\/p>\n

This latest service is part of KFHR\u2019s broader efforts to provide innovative, patient-centred care, reinforcing its position as a leading provider of specialised healthcare in the region.<\/p>\n
