Excess weight is a significant health concern for many people today. Losing weight through methods like diet and exercise may not always be easy. Therefore, non-surgical methods like gastric balloons also play an important role in weight loss.
A gastric balloon is a device made of silicone or balloon material filled with liquid that is placed in the stomach through an endoscopic procedure. The balloon, which occupies space in the stomach, restricts stomach volume, causing an early feeling of fullness and less food consumption.
The gastric balloon reduces the stomach volume from approximately 600-800 milliliters to 200-300 milliliters, thereby inducing an early feeling of fullness. This leads to consuming less food and weight loss.
A gastric balloon can generally be applied in the following cases:
Individuals with a body mass index (BMI) between 30-40 who cannot lose weight through diet and exerciseIndividuals experiencing health problems due to obesity (such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea)Individuals not suitable for surgical intervention or who do not want surgery
Whether gastric balloon application is appropriate is evaluated by a specialist physician considering factors such as the individual's medical history, BMI value, and general health condition.
The amount of weight lost with a gastric balloon varies depending on individual characteristics and the diet followed. Generally, it is possible to expect to lose 15-25 kilograms within 1 year with a gastric balloon.
In some individuals, even 30-40 kilograms have been observed to be lost with a gastric balloon. However, this depends on individual differences and the diet followed.
A gastric balloon procedure is performed through an endoscopic procedure. In this procedure, the balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth or nose. The procedure is usually done under sedation and takes about 15-30 minutes.
Since a gastric balloon operation is not a surgical procedure, it does not require general anesthesia. Sedation allows the individual to relax and not feel pain during the procedure.
Since a gastric balloon operation is an endoscopic procedure, it takes a very short time. It is generally completed within 15-30 minutes.
The duration of the operation may vary depending on the individual's anatomical structure and the difficulty of placing the balloon.
The weight loss process with a gastric balloon continues throughout the time the balloon remains in the stomach. After the balloon is placed, some side effects like nausea and vomiting may occur in the first few days. These side effects usually subside quickly.
The weight loss process with a gastric balloon also depends on the diet followed by the individual. Diet is important to maximize the effect of the gastric balloon. The diet program recommended by experts is a low-calorie program with a focus on protein and vegetables.
The diet program is adjusted according to the individual's specific needs and health condition.
After a gastric balloon operation, liquid and pureed foods should be consumed in the first few days. Solid foods can then be gradually introduced. Additionally, drinking plenty of water and regular exercise are important.
Avoiding alcohol and smoking for the first few weeks after a gastric balloon operation is also important.
Gastric balloon prices vary depending on many factors. These factors include the clinic, the experience of the physician, the type of balloon used, and the anesthesia method used.
For detailed information about gastric balloon prices, it is important to consult with a specialist physician.
