Gastric balloon is a balloon that is placed in stomach endoscopically and enables the patient to get full early and comply with the diet by taking up space in the stomach. The Gastric Balloon procedure is an endoscopically administered procedure and the balloon is inserted through the mouth and placed in the stomach. Gastric balloons have many types. These are 3-months, 6-months, and 1-year balloons and swallowable balloons. In this respect, we decide in pre-interview on which type of balloon is suitable for you in terms of patient compliance and to ensure required weight loss. We are able to administer all of these balloon types. Our purpose is to ensure that you have the healthy body you have dreamed of, free from the extra weight. Gastric Balloon is inserted in a 15-minute procedure and you will have left the hospital in 1-2 hours. There is no need for hospital stay and you can get back to your normal routine on the same day.
The patients who have gastric balloon procedures have to follow a special 10-day diet after the procedure and we provide a healthy nutrition programme after that. The gastric balloon is administered to help you comply with this programme more easily.
