Elevate Your Weight Loss Journey with Gastric Balloon
Gastric balloon surgery is performed for the treatment of obesity. This surgery is an option for people struggling with obesity and who have a weight loss goal. The gastric balloon is placed inside the stomach to reduce the volume of the stomach.
During surgery, the gastric balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth, usually using an endoscopic method. The balloon takes up space inside the stomach, allowing less food to be taken in and thus creating a feeling of fullness. Thus, the person eats less and can help the weight loss process.
Gastric balloon surgery may not be suitable for all obesity conditions. Before surgery, individuals need to meet with a healthcare professional to assess their condition and receive information about the risks and benefits of the surgery. As with any medical procedure, gastric balloon surgery involves potential risks and should be guided by a specialized doctor.
Erdem Hospital offers high-level service under the most favorable conditions. With an online free consultation, the price is determined after the treatment recommended by our doctors. Our prices are offered in all-inclusive packages. All services mentioned below will be included in the price.
When applying for gastric balloon surgery, you will have a preliminary consultation with a bariatric surgeon. At this stage, you will talk to your doctor in detail about your weight history, current health status, other medical conditions, and weight loss goals.
Before gastric balloon surgery, your doctor will order various tests such as blood tests, urinalysis, and ECG. Before the surgery, your doctor will advise you to make diet and lifestyle changes to prepare for the weight loss process. This may include following a low-calorie diet, exercising, developing healthy eating habits, and quitting harmful habits such as smoking or drinking alcohol. It is important that you have a full understanding of gastric balloon surgery. Your doctor will give you detailed information about the risks of the surgery, possible complications, how the procedure will be performed, and post-operative expectations. At this stage, you will be informed about the advantages and disadvantages of the surgery, and you will be asked to decide to have the surgery. After your consent is obtained, the operation process will be planned.
You must inform your doctor about the medications you are taking. He/she may ask you to stop taking some medications. The pre-operative process may vary depending on the patient. Your doctor will give you clear instructions on what to do before surgery. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations exactly.
Gastric balloon surgery usually does not require hospitalization as it is an endoscopic procedure. However, you may need to be monitored by your doctor for some time after surgery. During the first few days after surgery, you may experience symptoms such as mild discomfort, nausea or vomiting.
You can change your diet. Your doctor or a dietitian will prepare a nutrition plan for you. You will usually consume liquid foods for the first few days after the gastric balloon is inserted and will gradually transition to solid foods. There may be restrictions such as consumption of certain foods or portion control. The most important thing at this point is that the balloon in your stomach helps you lose weight.
After gastric balloon surgery, your doctor may advise you to increase your level of physical activity. Exercise is important to support weight loss, strengthen muscles and improve overall health.
It is important to keep in touch with your doctor after gastric balloon surgery. Through this communication, your doctor will evaluate your surgical results, monitor your weight loss and provide support if you have any problems.

Remember, the process after gastric balloon surgery may vary depending on the patient. Your doctor will give you detailed information about the postoperative process and will create a follow-up plan suitable for you.
