What is a gastric balloon operation in Turkey?

It is one of the latest non-surgical treatment procedures used in reducing weight and decreasing the amount of food consumed. The idea of the operation is to reduce the size of the stomach by inserting a silicone balloon into the stomach and then filling it with liquid solution or gas.


Who are the candidates for a gastric balloon procedure?

Although the stomach balloon procedure is simple, it may not suit all obese people as it does not suit those under the age of 18, or who suffer from local accumulations of fat or who suffer from gastritis or the presence of ulcers.

Gastric balloon operation in Turkey is the most appropriate option if the BMI is between 30-35 kg/m2 but if the BMI is higher, it will be less effective.

The most important steps to follow before undergoing a gastric balloon operation:

- A full evaluation of the patient condition by the competent doctor including taking the patient's health history, performing all necessary tests, and making a gastrointestinal endoscopy to make sure there are no ulcers or birth defects.

- Discuss the patient's expectations, fears, the expected outcome of the operation and the complications that can occur.

- The procedure requires refraining from eating and drinking several hours before the operation.

The Department of Obesity Treatment at Best Clinics is characterized by a distinguished group of doctors and specialists in this field who are highly skilled in dealing with different conditions and using the latest technology reached by science to treat obesity. After the medical evaluation process by the specialists in our clinics and to ensure that the gastric balloon operation is the most appropriate procedure, the following steps are taken:

- Anesthesia procedure: The gastric balloon does not require complete anesthesia, but is limited to partial anesthesia, as well as the use of sedatives to ensure that the operation proceeds calmly and comfortably.

- A balloon made of silicone material is inserted by an oral endoscope.

- The balloon is then filled with a sterile solution or hydrogen gas depending on the type of balloon used.

As we mentioned, this is a temporary procedure that lasts only several months and focuses on getting the best results during this period. As with other bariatric procedures, it must be accompanied by a healthy and balanced diet and regular exercise to achieve satisfactory results. During this period, 20-30 kg of excess weight can be eliminated, giving a strong psychological motivation to the patient to maintain a healthier, more fit and more youthful body after the operation.

After the intended period, the balloon is emptied and then removed using a gastrointestinal endoscope.
