Welcome to our clinic’s website, where we provide valuable information about the transformative weight loss procedure known as gastric balloon. In this article, we will explore what gastric balloon entails, the different types available, and what patients can expect before, during, and after the procedure. If you are considering gastric balloon as a non-surgical weight loss option in Turkey, read on to learn more.

What is Gastric Balloon?

Gastric balloon is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that helps individuals struggling with obesity achieve significant weight loss. It involves placing a silicone balloon into the stomach to reduce its capacity, leading to a feeling of fullness and reduced food intake. The gastric balloon serves as a temporary aid in weight loss and is typically recommended for individuals who need to lose weight before undergoing other surgical procedures or who prefer a non-surgical approach.

Types of Gastric Balloon:

1. Single Intragastric Balloon: This is the most common type of gastric balloon. It involves placing a single silicone balloon into the stomach through an endoscopic procedure. The balloon is filled with saline solution, taking up space in the stomach and promoting satiety.

2. Dual Intragastric Balloon: In this type, two smaller balloons are placed inside the stomach, allowing for a higher filling capacity. The presence of two balloons can further enhance the feeling of fullness and aid in weight loss.

Before the Operation:

Before undergoing gastric balloon placement, patients will undergo a thorough evaluation that includes a medical history assessment, physical examinations, and consultations with the healthcare team. This assessment helps determine the patient’s eligibility for the procedure and ensures it is a safe and suitable option for their specific needs.

During the Operation:

Gastric balloon placement is a non-surgical procedure that does not require general anesthesia. It is performed endoscopically, meaning a thin tube with a camera (endoscope) is inserted through the mouth and into the stomach. The deflated balloon is then guided into the stomach and filled with a sterile saline solution. The procedure usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes, and patients can go home the same day.

After the Operation:

Following gastric balloon placement, patients may experience some temporary discomfort, nausea, or bloating, which typically subsides within a few days. The healthcare team will provide dietary guidelines and recommendations for the initial weeks after the procedure. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress, provide support, and ensure a smooth weight loss journey.

Gastric balloon placement in Turkey offers a non-surgical approach to significant weight loss. By understanding the procedure, the different types available, and the pre- and post-operative considerations, patients can make informed decisions about their weight loss journey. If you are considering gastric balloon placement, consult with our experienced medical professionals who will guide you through the process and provide the necessary support for achieving your weight loss goals.
