What is Gastric Balloon?
A gastric balloon is a soft silicone balloon placed inside the stomach to occupy space and promote earlier satiety.
The procedure:
• Does not require surgery
• Does not involve incisions
• Is performed endoscopically
• Is temporary
By reducing available stomach volume, patients feel full with smaller portions.
The balloon is typically removed after 6–12 months, depending on the type used.
Who Is a Candidate for Gastric Balloon?
Gastric balloon in Istanbul may be considered for individuals who:
• Have a BMI between 27–35 (in many cases)
• Are not candidates for bariatric surgery
• Prefer a temporary, non-surgical option
• Need support before lifestyle-based weight reduction
A medical assessment is required before approval.
It is not suitable for patients with certain gastrointestinal conditions.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
The gastric balloon procedure is performed under sedation.
Process overview:
• An endoscope is inserted through the mouth
• The deflated balloon is guided into the stomach
• The balloon is filled with saline or air
• Proper positioning is confirmed
The procedure usually takes about 20–30 minutes.
Patients typically return home the same day.
Balloon removal is also performed endoscopically.

Safety and Long-Term Outcomes
After the Procedure
In the first few days, patients may experience:
• Nausea
• Abdominal discomfort
• Vomiting
These symptoms are generally temporary.
Post-placement protocol includes:

Long-term success depends on structured eating habits and lifestyle adaptation.
Expected Results
Weight loss varies depending on:
• Dietary compliance
• Physical activity
• Metabolic factors
• Behavioral adaptation
The gastric balloon is a supportive tool — not a permanent solution.
Sustainable results require continuation of healthy habits after balloon removal.
Risks and Considerations
Although minimally invasive, risks may include:
• Persistent nausea
• Balloon intolerance
• Gastric irritation
• Rare balloon deflation
Close medical follow-up minimizes risk.
The balloon must be removed at the recommended time.
