Gastric Balloon: Take an Effective Step to Healthy Living
Gastric balloon is an effective method used to help the weight loss process. It is generally preferred for weight loss in cases of obesity or overweight. The gastric balloon creates a feeling of satiety by reducing the volume of the stomach and helps the person to consume small amounts of food. This accelerates the weight loss process.

Who is gastric balloon recommended?
Gastric ballooning may offer a solution especially for people who have difficulty losing weight despite diet and exercise programs. However, since each individual’s situation is different, it is important to consult a specialist to determine who the gastric balloon procedure is suitable for.
- Gastric balloon application is generally recommended for individuals with a BMI of 30 and above who are classified as obese. The gastric balloon option may be considered if these individuals have failed other weight loss methods or if rapid weight loss is required due to health problems.
- For people for whom undergoing a surgical procedure is risky or inappropriate, gastric ballooning may offer a safer option.
- Gastric balloon is a suitable option for individuals who can make the lifestyle changes necessary for weight loss and who can comply with regular follow-up appointments. The gastric balloon is only a tool to accelerate weight loss and long-term success relies on the individual’s willpower to improve their eating habits and lifestyle.

Gastric Balloon: Fast and Safe Weight Loss in 3 Stages
The gastric balloon operation is performed using an endoscopic method. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Here are the stages of the gastric balloon operation:
1. Preparation for the Gastric Balloon
Before the operation, a detailed assessment is made with your doctor and your health condition is evaluated. Necessary medical tests are performed and the most suitable gastric balloon is selected for you.
2. Gastric Balloon Insertion Phase
On the day of the operation, a gastric balloon is inserted by our specialist doctors in the endoscopy room. During this procedure, a thin tube (endoscope) is passed through the mouth and into the stomach. The gastric balloon is then inserted and inflated with the help of the tube.
3. Inflation of the gastric balloon
The gastric balloon is inflated with a sterile solution. By reducing the volume of the stomach, the balloon creates a feeling of fullness and allows you to consume less food. The amount of inflation of the balloon is determined according to your individual needs and your doctor’s recommendations.
