The invention relates to three medico-surgical elements, such as (i) an intragastric balloon, (ii) a valve for regulating postoperative inflation an d the percutaneous gastronomy technique with endoscopic control and (iii) a novel means for fixing the assembly that prevents the migration of the balloon. The inventive intragastric balloon assembly comprises a silicon balloon which is provided with a fixed inflation catheter and an attachment consisting of a silicon tube that is bigger at the balloon inlet. Said silic on tube acts as a tension support and is fixed to the aponeurosis by means of a plate that can be adjusted as required, said adjustable plate being secured to the aponeurosis with suture points or metal clips. Once said elements have been secured, the support is cut and the catheter is connected to an inflati on valve which is placed under the skin and which is secured to the aponeurosis with points or clips.
