Gastric Balloon Removal in Dubai

Book your gastric balloon removal at one of our centres in Dubai

Safe, specialist gastric balloon removal performed within licensed UAE partner facilities.

If you have had a gastric balloon placed and are now looking to have it safely removed in Dubai, Allure Weightloss can help.

Many patients choose to have their balloon removed at a different clinic — whether due to relocation, convenience, or a preference for a more medically supported environment.

Our team provides safe, endoscopic gastric balloon removal within our UAE partner hospitals, with full clinical supervision.

We regularly assist patients who have had gastric balloons placed both locally and internationally and now require a trusted removal service in Dubai.

When Should a Gastric Balloon Be Removed?

Gastric balloons are typically removed at the end of their recommended duration (usually 6 or 12 months), but earlier removal may be required in some cases due to intolerance or personal preference.

If you are unsure whether your balloon needs to be removed, our team can advise during consultation.

Gastric Balloon Removal Procedure

Gastric balloon removal is performed as a short endoscopic procedure under sedation.

The balloon is deflated and removed through the mouth using specialised equipment within a controlled hospital setting.

The procedure is typically completed within 20–30 minutes and patients are discharged the same day.

Preparing for Your Removal

Patients are required to follow a short fasting protocol prior to removal to ensure the stomach is clear and the procedure can be carried out safely.

Our team will provide clear instructions in advance and guide you through the preparation process.

Recovery After Removal

After the procedure, patients are monitored for a short period before being discharged.

You should not drive for 24 hours following sedation.

Most patients return to normal daily activities shortly after removal.

  • Concentrate on whole grains, lean meats, fish, fresh fruit & vegetables
  • Avoid concentrated sugars and fats and high calorie liquids
  • BE VIGILANT – calories can creep in and sabotage your weight loss
  • Avoid snacking on energy dense foods – snacks should be low in fat and high in protein
  • Use a 7-inch side plate to keep portion size correct and use a teaspoon and small knife and fork to keep mouthful size small
  • Chew thoroughly – use your timer, do not eat for any longer than 20-30 minutes
  • Stay active. Regular physical activity is crucial for weight management
  • STOP eating when you are no longer hungry. You do not need to feel full
  • You should aim to consume 850-1500 calories per day
  • ALWAYS complete a daily food and activity diary
  • If you’re hungry, make sure you choose larger volumes of very healthy foods rather than smaller volumes of unhealthy foods. Or you could try adding protein by increasing the amount of low-fat dairy in your daily diet or by adding a protein supplement powder, found in health food shops

Marc lost an amazing 20kg

Marc was initially skeptical about short-term gastric balloons and concerned about the costs and risks. After thorough research, he chose Allure Weight Loss and embarked on a 12-month program. With the support of a dedicated team—including doctors, nurses, and nutritionists—Marc stayed committed to his journey. Despite challenges, his determination paid off, leading to a significant transformation. A year later, his heart attack risk dropped from 8/10 to 2/10, and friends barely recognized him. Marc’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the right support system.
