What is a Gastric Balloon?

A gastric balloon is a silicone balloon that is inserted into your stomach through a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure. Once inflated with saline solution, the balloon takes up space in your stomach, promoting feelings of fullness and helping you eat less. Gastric balloons are typically temporary solutions, remaining in place for either 6 months or 12 months.

Types of Gastric Balloons in Turkey:

PlaSurgery-partnered clinics in Turkey offer two main types of gastric balloons:

  • 6-Month Gastric Balloons:
    • Ideal for individuals seeking a kickstart to weight loss or those needing to lose weight before qualifying for other weight loss procedures.
    • Offers a shorter commitment period.
    • May require balloon replacement after 6 months to continue weight loss efforts.
  • 12-Month Gastric Balloons:
    • Designed for individuals seeking a more extended period of weight loss support.
    • May lead to greater overall weight loss compared to 6-month balloons.
    • Requires only one placement procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Following a healthy diet and exercise program is crucial for sustained weight loss after the balloon is removed. A healthy lifestyle helps you maintain weight loss and improve your overall health.

Gastric balloons are generally safe, but some potential side effects include nausea, vomiting, and cramping, which usually subside within a few days. There's also a small risk of balloon deflation or migration. Choosing a qualified doctor significantly minimizes these risks.

While some weight loss may occur immediately after placement, consistent effort with diet and exercise is necessary for optimal results.

While some patients with a BMI over 40 may be considered for a gastric balloon, it's often recommended to explore other weight loss procedures like gastric bypass surgery due to the potential for greater weight loss. Consult a doctor to discuss your specific situation.

12-month balloons may lead to greater overall weight loss compared to 6-month balloons. However, they require only one placement procedure.

Yes, in some cases, you may be able to get a second 6-month balloon inserted after the first one is removed to extend the weight loss effect. Discuss this possibility with your doctor.

No, gastric balloons are not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Certain medical conditions, including stomach ulcers, may preclude you from getting a gastric balloon. Discuss your medical history with a doctor to determine your suitability.
