Gastric balloon procedure in Turkey

Gastric balloon is an innovative, non-surgical solution for the treatment of obesity. The technique involves the endoscopic insertion of a spherical silicone medical device into the patient's stomach.

 Once in place, the balloon is filled with sterile saline or air, allowing it to occupy a portion of the stomach cavity. This technique reduces the stomach's capacity and promotes early satiety at mealtimes, helping patients reduce their caloric intake and achieve significant and lasting weight loss.

The intragastric balloon is designed to be temporary, with a placement period of 6 to 12 months. At the end of this period, it is removed through a simple endoscopic procedure performed by qualified professionals.

This medical approach, combined with personalized nutritional and psychological support, offers an effective solution for patients who want to regain a healthy weight without surgery.

Contact us today to learn more about this procedure and to receive personalized support for your weight loss journey.

When is the gastric balloon recommended?

The gastric balloon is particularly indicated for people who are overweight or moderately obese, with a BMI (Body Mass Index) between 25 and 35. It is an effective alternative for patients who have failed to lose weight through diet and regular physical activity, without resorting to invasive surgery.

Insertion of the balloon takes as little as 20 minutes and is a quick and easy way to begin significant weight loss. However, prior consultation with a bariatric surgeon or gastroenterologist is essential to assess the feasibility and benefits of the device for each profile.

To optimize results and ensure lasting weight loss, patients must commit to a comprehensive medical follow-up program. This includes regular nutritional support and lifestyle changes.

Intragastric ballon contraindications

Gastric balloon insertion is not recommended in the following cases:

Types of intragastric balloons

Types of intragastric balloons vary in their method of application, composition, and duration of treatment. Here's an overview of the main options available to help you lose weight:

Types of gastric balloon

Features

Allurion

Made of polyurethane, Allurion (formerly Elipse) does not require surgery, endoscopy or anesthesia. The balloon is swallowed as a capsule and then filled with a saline solution through a fine catheter. The procedure, which takes about 20 minutes, allows the balloon to fill with 550 ml of water and then dissolve naturally after 4 months. This device offers an average weight loss of 10-15% and personalized follow-up with a dedicated team.

Orbera 365

Introduced by endoscopy, this balloon is filled with 400 to 700 ml of saline and lasts for six months. Designed for patients with a BMI between 30 and 40, Orbera 365 enables weight loss of 12%. The balloon is inserted and removed under light sedation. This treatment may cause nausea and pain during the adjustment period.

Heliosphere Bag

The lightweight, air-filled Heliosphere Bag balloon is designed for patients with a BMI between 27 and 35. Implanted for 6 months, it is designed to change eating habits by reducing food portions. Because of its light weight, it causes little nausea or vomiting.

Spatz3

The Spatz3 balloon is a suitable choice for longer treatment periods (up to 12 months). It offers the possibility to adjust its volume according to the patient's needs. This balloon achieves an average weight loss of 14% at 6 months and is particularly suitable for patients with a BMI between 30 and 40. It requires an endoscopic procedure and adjustments can be made during treatment.

MedSil

The MedSil balloon is made of medical grade silicone and is designed for patients with a BMI between 27 and 35. It is filled with saline and is adjustable from 400 to 700 ml. The balloon promotes early satiety and remains in place for six months.

Obalon

The Obalon system is non-invasive. No anesthesia is required as the balloon is swallowed in capsule form. Up to three balloons can be inserted at two-week intervals. This system helps to reduce food consumption, making weight loss easier. The procedure is quick and side effects are generally moderate.

Post-operative follow-Up

Following gastric balloon placement, an overnight hospital stay under medical supervision is required to ensure a safe recovery. During this time, close medical monitoring and nutritional management are essential, especially during the early stages of your recovery. An x-ray check will be performed to verify the correct positioning of the balloon to ensure smooth operation throughout the procedure.

For best results, patients should follow a balanced diet after the gastric balloon procedure. For the first few weeks, the diet should consist mainly of liquids, then semi-liquids, before gradually returning to a normal diet after the fourth week. This transition is essential to ensure good tolerance of the balloon and to prevent any digestive complications. A dietitian from the hospital in Turkey will help you adjust your meals to ensure a smooth, controlled transition to a solid diet.

Some patients may experience mild nausea the day after the procedure, but these symptoms are usually temporary and do not interfere with a rapid return to a more varied diet.

Gastric balloons are designed to remain in place for 6 to 12 months. It is important to adhere to this time frame to prevent long-term complications and maximize the benefits of the procedure.

Results of gastric balloon

Combined with dietary changes and regular physical activity, the gastric balloon procedure usually results in significant weight loss. On average, patients lose between 10% and 15% of their total body weight, which can be as much as 10 to 15 pounds in four months.

However, results vary depending on factors such as lifestyle, commitment to a weight management program, eating habits, and exercise. In addition to weight loss, the gastric balloon is designed to help patients adopt new eating habits, improve portion control, and change their relationship with food. It serves as a support tool to facilitate long-term lifestyle changes.

Possible side effects

The gastric balloon procedure may be associated with certain side effects, which are usually temporary and occur in the days following the procedure. The most common are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and heartburn. In rare cases, dehydration may occur and early removal of the balloon may be necessary. Balloon deflation is rare if the recommended inflation time is followed.

Appropriate treatments are recommended to manage these side effects:

Turquie Santé's medical team is committed to supporting each patient throughout the recovery process. We guarantee personalized follow-up and customized solutions to minimize discomfort and maximize results.

Gastric balloon FAQ in Turkey

Is pregnancy dangerous after the gastric balloon placement?

Pregnancy isn’t typically dangerous after gastric balloon placement, but it requires careful planning. Most experts recommend avoiding pregnancy while the balloon is in place and waiting until it’s removed before trying to conceive.

Why is Turkey a popular destination for gastric balloon procedures?

Turkey has become a leading hub for medical tourism thanks to its highly skilled bariatric surgeons, modern private hospitals, and significantly lower costs compared to those in the UK, EU, and US. Many clinics offer all-inclusive packages that cover the procedure, accommodations, and airport transfers.

How long do I need to stay in Turkey for gastric balloon surgery?

The procedure itself takes about 20–30 minutes, but most clinics recommend staying for 2–3 days afterward. This allows time for Pre-op consultation and tests.

Can I fly back home immediately after the gastric balloon is inserted?

It’s best to wait a few days before flying after getting a gastric balloon inserted. Your body needs time to adjust, and most people experience nausea or stomach cramps for the first couple of days. Flying too soon can exacerbate these symptoms, so it’s better to stay near your doctor in case you need assistance.

Do I need to follow a special diet while in Turkey?

Yes, yo’ll likely begin a clear liquid or soft food diet within 24 hours after the procedure. The clinic will provide detailed dietary instructions, and you may also meet with a nutritionist before and after the balloon placement to ensure proper nutrition.
