An example method includes deploying an example system in a vicinity of the lost circulation zone. The example system includes a stop lost-circulation balloon (SLCB) tool. An example SLCB tool includes an inflatable balloon and a tubing string including a fluid conduit. The string is in fluid connection with the balloon. The method includes deploying, from the SLCB tool, the balloon and forcing slurry into the balloon to cause at least part of the balloon containing the slurry into the fracture. The method includes allowing the slurry to set for a period of time to produce a solid. The method includes drilling through the solid in the balloon in the wellbore, leaving the solid in the fracture.
