Gastric Balloon
Gastric Sleeve

It is a medical material used in bariatric surgery. Also called gastric balloon. It aims to reduce appetite by placing it in the stomach by endoscopy method. It shapes your eating pattern during the time it stays in the stomach and gives you a feeling of fast satiety. After it is placed in the stomach, it is inflated with the help of a colored liquid or air and covers a 10 cm round area. When a healthy weight is reached, the balloon is removed from the stomach.

Although the procedure is performed in the field of bariatric surgery, it cannot be called a surgical method. No incisions or stitches. It is a short-term procedure performed only by endoscopy method.

The gastric balloon, which is placed in the stomach in a short time, remains in the stomach for 6 months to 1 year. The purpose of the application is to ensure that you lose weight in a healthy way by changing your eating habits during this time.

Gastric balloon placed in the stomach does not have serious risks. It can only be perceived as foreign by the body because it is an externally placed object. In such cases, complaints such as burning in the stomach, nausea, pain, cramps can be seen.

Gastric balloon is not a material that can burst as it is thought, but puncture may occur.

Although very rarely, the gastric balloon can be punctured by severe accidental blows or by a high stomach acid rate. The blue liquid in the punctured balloon leaks into the stomach and is excreted through the urine. This liquid is not dangerous for the body.

As a result of the leakage of the blue liquid in the balloon in this way, the person sees a blue color while urinating. In this case, the doctor should be notified and the balloon should be removed.

The balloon, which is placed in the stomach and inflated with the endoscopy method, is removed by endoscopy in the opposite way. The extraction process is completed in an average of 15 minutes.

First, the balloon is emptied and deflated with needles and injectors, then the empty balloon is pulled out from the esophagus towards the mouth. The emptied balloon becomes smaller and can be easily removed.

After the gastric balloon is placed in the stomach, it is important to pay attention to what you eat. Since the feeling of fullness will come very easily, you should contribute to your healthy diet by consuming the most nutritious foods for the body.

Since the stomach capacity is limited, it is important to eat little and often. In addition, you should limit carbohydrates and eat protein-based diet in order to lose weight regularly and maintain the lost weight.

You should not neglect daily exercises and walks, and you should adopt an active life.

It can be easily applied to people who have moderate or mild weight problems. Weight loss is achieved by applying a program supported by exercise and diet. In advanced weight excesses, it is applied before obesity surgery and the excesses are removed.

The balloon placed in the stomach with a simple application can help to lose an average of 15-25 kilos. The point to be noted is that if the nutritional habits acquired during the treatment are not continued after the balloon is removed, the lost weight may come back.
