Gastric Balloon

What is a Gastric Balloon?

A gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight loss method used in the treatment of obesity. This balloon, which is placed in the stomach endoscopically and filled with liquid or air, reduces stomach volume and creates a faster feeling of fullness. As a result, individuals eat less and lose weight. It is an ideal solution for those who do not want surgery or cannot undergo surgery due to medical risks.

The gastric balloon usually remains in the stomach for 6 to 12 months and is then removed. During this period, the goal is to permanently change the individual's eating habits. Esteaura offers safe and effective solutions to its patients with its many years of experience in gastric balloon procedures.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Gastric Balloon?

The gastric balloon is generally suitable for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 27 and 40 who have not been successful with diet and exercise. It also offers an alternative solution for patients who are at high risk for surgery.

Candidates should not be planning pregnancy, should not have serious stomach conditions such as ulcers, and must be able to comply with post-procedure follow-ups and lifestyle changes.

Gastric Balloon Procedure at Esteaura

Esteaura stands out with its many years of clinical experience in gastric balloon treatments. Each patient is thoroughly evaluated and the most suitable balloon type (air or fluid-filled) is selected accordingly.

Esteaura's expert gastroenterologists and dietitians guide and support the patient at every step of the process. This holistic approach makes the gastric balloon more than just a temporary solution - it becomes an opportunity for permanent lifestyle change.

Procedure and Recovery Process

The gastric balloon is usually placed through an endoscopic procedure that takes about 15-20 minutes. The patient is discharged the same day and can return to normal life within a few days. Nausea, cramps, and discomfort may be experienced in the early days, but these symptoms usually subside quickly.

After the balloon is placed, the patient starts a personalized diet program. Esteaura's dietitians prepare an individualized nutrition plan. Weekly or monthly follow-ups are conducted to monitor progress and adjust the plan as needed.
