The Spatz3 intragastric balloon has several advantages. 1) It is adjustable, which means it is dynamic and its volume  can be changed as your needs change. 2) It is approved for longer implantation time in comparison to other products in the market. Spatz3 is the first balloon to have both of these advantages. Leaving a balloon in the stomach longer without changing the volume of the balloon is not likely to produce greater weight loss. The longer implantation time also gives you longer behavior modification time which yields longer lasting behavioral changes.
