The gastric balloon in Turkey (or intragastric balloon) is a non-surgical procedure used to help overweight or obese patients lose weight. Despite its name, it is not invasive surgery but a temporary endoscopic technique.
This technique helps achieve optimal weight-loss results while changing your relationship with food.
The adjustable gastric balloon is inserted during a non-invasive 15-minute outpatient procedure. No incision or hospitalization is required. This weight-loss procedure helps patients learn to read their body’s signals and develop healthier eating habits that support weight maintenance after the balloon is removed.
The insertion of the balloon into your stomach is designed to be quick and effective. Before the procedure, you must avoid eating or drinking for twelve hours to ensure your stomach is empty and the procedure can be performed safely. You may be asked to follow a liquid diet the day before the intragastric balloon is placed. This also helps prevent nausea, a common post-procedure symptom.
You will be placed under light sedation and the deflated balloon will be inserted endoscopically. Once the balloon is positioned in your stomach, it is filled with saline solution.
Because the gastric balloon system is a non-surgical procedure, you can usually leave the hospital within about one hour.
The gastric balloon is particularly suitable for patients with obesity who have not been able to reach their goals through diet and exercise alone. It is ideal for patients who want a reversible tool to help them start their weight-loss journey.
Your adjustable gastric balloon can help you lose weight and transform your relationship with food. However, preparing for a procedure can be a stressful experience.
Our team follows a defined series of steps to help you achieve the desired results. Here is what to expect.
These symptoms usually disappear within one week. Medication will also be prescribed to relieve common symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
Please note that during the first three days, you must follow a clear-liquid diet only, followed by a full-liquid diet and then a semi-solid diet. You can expect to return to your usual solid diet within two weeks.
If you have any questions, your doctor and the clinic staff will be available to provide support and guidance.
