Gastric balloon procedures are increasingly popular for weight loss, and Turkey is a favored destination for this treatment due to its combination of high-quality medical care and affordability. Here's an overview of what you can expect if you're considering a gastric balloon procedure in Turkey:

What is a Gastric Balloon?

A gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight loss procedure where a soft silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach and then filled with saline. This balloon helps limit food intake by making you feel full faster and for a longer period.

Benefits of Choosing Turkey for Gastric Balloon:

  1. Cost-Effective: The cost of medical procedures in Turkey is generally lower than in many Western countries.
  2. High-Quality Care: Many Turkish hospitals and clinics are accredited by international organizations and offer state-of-the-art facilities.
  3. Experienced Surgeons: Turkey has a number of highly experienced and internationally trained bariatric surgeons.
  4. Comprehensive Packages: Many medical tourism agencies in Turkey offer comprehensive packages that include the procedure, accommodation, transportation, and aftercare.

The Procedure:

  1. Consultation: Initial consultation to assess eligibility and discuss medical history.
  2. Pre-Procedure Tests: Blood tests, imaging studies, and other tests to ensure the patient is fit for the procedure.
  3. Insertion: The balloon is inserted endoscopically under mild sedation. The procedure usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
  4. Inflation: Once in place, the balloon is filled with saline.
  5. Recovery: Patients can usually go home the same day but need to follow a specific diet and aftercare routine.

Recovery and Aftercare:

  • Dietary Changes: Patients need to follow a liquid diet initially, gradually transitioning to solid foods.
  • Lifestyle Modifications: Regular follow-ups and lifestyle modifications are crucial for long-term success.
  • Balloon Removal: The balloon is typically removed after 6 months through a similar endoscopic procedure.
