What is Gastric Balloon Surgery?
The gastric balloon weight loss procedure involves inserting a soft balloon through endoscopy into your stomach to help manage portions and help in weight loss. The balloon expands inside the stomach by using saline solution or gas to fill its volume which helps patients feel satisfied after eating smaller portions. The treatment system enables patients to achieve weight reduction through several months while learning healthier lifestyle behaviors.
What Makes Someone Qualified for Gastric Balloon Treatment?
People with BMI levels ranging from 27 to 40 who failed to lose weight through conventional methods are the most suitable candidates for this treatment. This solution benefits individuals who wish to avoid permanent bariatric surgery yet require an effective weight management system. A medical evaluation determines your safety status for undergoing this procedure.
The gastric balloon functions as a weight loss tool.
Your stomach receives space from the balloon which enables quicker satisfaction and longer-lasting feelings of fullness. The reduced food consumption and portion control features support steady weight reduction. The combination of proper diet and lifestyle changes enables patients to achieve enduring results which persist after the removal of the balloon.
Procedure Steps
The procedure involves placing the balloon inside your stomach through a thin endoscopic tube that passes through your mouth under light sedation. After placement the balloon receives sterile saline or gas to increase its size within your stomach. The entire procedure requires between 20 to 30 minutes and patients usually get discharged on the same day.
Recovery and Aftercare
The body needs time to adapt to the balloon so patients usually feel mild discomfort and nausea during the initial few days. After the initial soft food diet patients move to a balanced eating schedule. The treatment requires regular appointments to ensure patients lose weight safely and receive nutritional guidance.
The expected weight reduction outcomes
The balloon stays inside the body for six to twelve months to enable patients to lose 10–20% of their initial body weight. The amount of weight loss depends on individual dietary choices combined with exercise habits and dedication to new lifestyle practices. Patients receive ongoing support to maintain their results after their balloon is removed.
Gastric Balloon Benefits
This treatment enables weight reduction through a surgical-free process which avoids creating permanent scars or requiring extensive recovery time. The procedure decreases surgical risks and helps manage obesity-related diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes. The procedure remains reversible since it preserves stomach anatomy.
Gastric Balloon Risks
Nausea together with vomiting and abdominal discomfort are common side effects that patients experience during the first week after the procedure. The rare complications that can occur include balloon deflation and ulceration as well as migration of the device. Your experience with an experienced medical team reduces potential complications and maintains continuous care during your entire process.
The gastric balloon cost in Turkey
Turkey provides gastric balloon packages at lower prices than other countries without any reduction in treatment quality. The procedure fees along with medical care and accommodation and transfer expenses make up the total costs. Patients from around the world find Turkey to be an appealing choice for receiving safe and budget-friendly weight loss procedures.
Lifestyle After Gastric Balloon
People who want to keep their results must develop new eating habits while performing physical exercise regularly. Medical nutritionists assist patients to create long-term dietary plans and demonstrate methods for proper food portion control. The weight loss achieved with the balloon will persist after its removal because of the eating habits established during the treatment period.
