GASTRIC BALLOON
A gastric balloon is a soft, medical-grade balloon that is placed into the stomach endoscopically. It helps patients feel full earlier, reducing food intake and supporting adherence to a structured diet.
The gastric balloon procedure is performed endoscopically. The balloon is inserted through the mouth and positioned inside the stomach. There are different types of gastric balloons, including 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, and swallowable balloons.
During the pre-consultation, the most suitable type of balloon is selected based on the patient’s needs, lifestyle, and expected weight loss goals. We provide all available balloon types to ensure the most effective treatment plan.
Our aim is to help you achieve a healthier body and reduce excess weight in a safe and controlled way.
The gastric balloon procedure takes approximately 15 minutes. Patients are usually discharged within 1–2 hours and can return to their normal daily activities on the same day. No hospital stay is required.
After the procedure, patients follow a special 10-day diet plan. A personalized nutrition program is then provided to support long-term weight management. The gastric balloon helps patients adapt more easily to this new eating routine.
