Gastric Balloon Surgery

Many people complain of obesity despite exercising regularly, constantly changing their diet and avoiding sugar. Regardless of your outward appearance, your own quality of life is always affected by this situation. As Aesthetic Myra, we would like to offer you various possibilities on how you can take control of your life and weight with the help of a surgical procedure. Contact us now!

One of the restrictive techniques of gastric surgery that we offer to our patients in Turkey is called gastric balloon.



Gastric balloon; It is an oval capsule placed by a specialist through gastroscopy. This is then filled with a suitable substance, usually a gas or air mixture, or a saline solution. Since the gastric balloon procedure is a small operation that takes only about 30 minutes, it is applied on the same day. In order to avoid risks, the gastric balloon is removed by your specialist in Turkey after about 3-6 months. This is especially necessary because possible effects on the gastric mucosa can occur, which can cause nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting.

The cost of placing a gastric balloon is variable depending on the person and a variety of factors. If you are interested, contact our Aesthetic Myra Team!

What is a Gastric Balloon?

The elastic and soft silicone balloon is placed at the upper end of the stomach and filled with saline solution. This circulates freely in the stomach and creates a feeling of fullness naturally. It can remain in the stomach for up to six months.

Who is the Gastric Balloon suitable for?

The Gastric Balloon is suitable for people with a body mass index between 25 and 40, and is also used to prepare for surgery for people who are overweight.

How to insert and remove the Gastric Balloon?

When the gastric balloon is empty, it is placed orally through the mouth and esophagus. This process takes place on an outpatient basis and only laryngeal anesthesia is performed. When the balloon is made in the stomach, it is filled with a saline solution through a small tube. A self-sealing cap on the gastric balloon automatically closes and allows the tube to be removed again. The procedure takes about 20 to 30 minutes and you can be discharged after a short period of observation.

Removal is done orally without any complications. The larynx is again anesthetized and a catheter is inserted to evacuate the balloon. It is then ejected, exactly as it was inserted into the blank.



Gastric Balloon Advantages and Requirements

Various requirements are needed for gastric balloon application in Turkey: It is applied to patients with a body mass index (BMI) of at least 40 (equivalent to 40 kg/m2) or with a BMI of 35 with severe health problems. In addition, the patient must be 18 years or older. Other necessary factors are the age limit of 65, the absence of mental illness, alcohol and drug addiction.

You will be given detailed information about the possible risks and side effects during the treatment process, as well as the changes that may occur in your life. Of course, we would be glad if you contact our Aesthetic Myra team so that we can give you detailed advice in this regard!

Is it a successful procedure for losing weight?

The gastric balloon is just an aid to reduce hunger and give a greater feeling of fullness. Particularly important here is a change in exercise and diet. It is possible to lose 10 to 20 kilograms in about six months.

Are there risks and side effects?

Shortly after inserting the gastric balloon, there may be a slight scratch in the throat, this is completely normal and will disappear again quickly. In rare cases, nausea or mild pain may also occur. These ailments can be treated with medication and usually disappear after a short period of adaptation.

Theoretically, the gastric balloon could burst, but this probability is extremely low. Generally, urine becomes discolored because a color additive such as saline solution is added. If the balloon bursts, his doctor will either remove the empty balloon or it will be expelled naturally from the bowel.

Do I need to follow the measures taken?

The gastric balloon is only an aid. We recommend consulting a nutritionist to permanently change your lifestyle. Sports and exercise also aid weight loss. You need support to ensure a balanced diet and constant change. Gastric balloon is not suitable for rapid weight loss. The risk, called the yo-yo effect, can reappear soon after extreme weight loss.

Does health insurance cover this procedure?

Normally, health insurance does not cover fees. In special cases, for example, in the case of particularly severe obesity, it can repay partially or fully. Before this operation, information should be obtained from the relevant health insurance company.

Are there any additional fees?

Aesthetic Myra services are all inclusive. You do not pay any additional fees.
