A gastric balloon is an oval-shaped capsule that is either swallowed or placed by an expert using an endoscopy procedure. Once inside the stomach, it is filled with a special substance, which can be a gas-air mixture or a saline solution.
The placement of a gastric balloon is minimally invasive and takes only about 30 minutes. Compared to other weight loss methods, it is minimally invasive. The biggest advantage is that patients can leave the clinic on the same day. However, this balloon is removed after 3-6 months to prevent potential irritation of the stomach lining and associated discomfort such as nausea or abdominal pain.
To be eligible for the placement of a gastric balloon, patients should have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 25. Additionally, they must be at least 18 years old. Factors such as mental illnesses, drug and alcohol consumption, and an age over 65 years can exclude individuals from the procedure.
The procedure begins with the oral insertion of the gastric balloon through the mouth. This is done on an outpatient basis, and the patient is only locally anesthetized with a throat spray. Once positioned, the balloon is filled with a saline solution through a small tube. Thanks to a self-sealing valve, the balloon automatically closes, after which the tube is carefully removed. This entire process typically takes only 20 to 30 minutes.
After the Procedure
Following placement, the balloon remains in the stomach, floating freely. Its presence contributes to an increased feeling of fullness, reducing the patient’s hunger. In this form, the gastric balloon remains in the body for up to six months before removal becomes necessary.
Opting for a gastric balloon at GetSlim in Antalya, Turkey, can raise many questions. Below, we answer some of the most frequently asked questions about this procedure to provide you with a clear overview and assist you in your decision-making process.
The balloon placed in the stomach signals a quicker feeling of fullness in the body (through contact with the stomach sensors), making this restrictive treatment method a kind of supportive measure for dietary changes. The gastric balloon allows you to leave the practice on the same day and gradually adapt your life to the new circumstances.
Furthermore, complications rarely occur during the insertion of a gastric balloon. Additionally, this procedure does not result in anatomical changes! Moreover, the capsule is simply removed after a certain period.
The gastric balloon is suitable for individuals with a BMI between 25 and 40. It is also used for severely obese individuals as preparation for surgery.
The gastric balloon is merely a tool to reduce hunger and speed up the feeling of fullness. What is especially important here is a concurrent dietary change and sufficient exercise. It is possible to lose between 10 and 20 kilograms in each of the six months.
The gastric balloon is just a supplementary tool. It is advisable to seek nutritional counseling to permanently change your lifestyle. Exercise and physical activity also help you lose weight. Consistent and sustainable dietary changes should be pursued. The gastric balloon is not suitable for rapid weight loss, as there is a high risk of the so-called yo-yo effect after removal, and weight gain can occur immediately.
Both gastric balloon and sleeve gastrectomy are interventions for weight loss, but they have different mechanisms and goals. Which method is “better” depends on the individual’s goals, requirements, and preferences. Here are the main differences and advantages of each method:
