Gastric Balloon

Achieve Sustainable Weight Loss with Our Expert Bariatric Surgeons at BestMedTurkey

If you’re looking for an affordable gastric balloon procedure, BestMedTurkey offers a safe, effective, and non-invasive solution for weight loss. Located in Istanbul, Turkey, our clinic is renowned for its certified bariatric surgery and expert care. The gastric balloon procedure is a great option for patients who want to lose weight without undergoing major surgery.

The gastric balloon is a temporary weight loss treatment designed to help you achieve long-term weight management. It involves placing a soft, silicone balloon into the stomach, which is then filled with saline. This reduces the amount of food you can eat, helping you feel full faster, and ultimately leading to significant weight loss.

Why Choose the Gastric Balloon?

The gastric balloon offers many benefits, particularly for patients who are not ready for a more invasive surgery, like gastric bypass. It’s an ideal choice for those seeking a non-surgical, affordable weight loss solution that can be performed in a certified bariatric surgery clinic in Turkey like ours.

• Non-invasive weight loss: No cuts, stitches, or permanent changes to your body.
• Short recovery time: Most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
• Affordable procedure: Compared to other bariatric surgeries, the gastric balloon is a more affordable option for international patients.
• Significant long-term weight loss: The balloon helps reduce portion sizes, which leads to sustainable weight loss over time.

How Does the Gastric Balloon Work?

The gastric balloon is inserted into the stomach using a minimally invasive procedure that is performed under general anesthesia. Once the balloon is placed, it is filled with saline solution, taking up space in the stomach and reducing the amount of food you can comfortably eat.

Over time, this helps you develop healthier eating habits, as you feel full after consuming smaller portions. Typically, the balloon is left in place for 6 months, after which it is removed through a simple procedure.

This procedure is ideal for those who want to jump-start their weight loss journey with a long-term weight loss solution by specialists in a supportive and medically supervised environment.
