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:

Consultation and Planning

Balloon Placement

- A thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) is inserted through your mouth and into your stomach.
- The deflated balloon is then passed through the endoscope and positioned in your stomach.
- The balloon is filled with saline solution through the endoscope.
- The endoscope is then carefully removed.
Follow-Up and Balloon Removal
