    We Briefly Explain the Gastric Balloon Procedure

    The gastric balloon is a temporary and adjustable weight loss method that is placed inside the stomach without any surgical incisions. The balloon, which is placed in the stomach endoscopically or in the form of a swallowable capsule, fills a specific part of the stomach, allowing you to feel full with smaller portions. This reduces appetite, controls snacking, and safely supports the weight loss process.

    This method offers a powerful intermediate step, especially for people who have not achieved the desired results despite diet and exercise, but do not feel ready for permanent bariatric surgery such as gastric sleeve. The gastric balloon aims to accelerate weight loss over a period of 6–12 months while reshaping eating habits and creating long-term behavioral change.

    Busra Nur Özger and her team do not view the gastric balloon as merely a device; they plan it as part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes counseling, nutritional monitoring, and lifestyle support.

    Who is the Gastric Balloon Suitable For?

    The gastric balloon is not for everyone; it is a suitable and safe option for patients who meet specific criteria. Therefore, a detailed assessment is conducted first.

    People with the following characteristics may be suitable candidates for the gastric balloon:

    • Those with a body mass index (BMI) generally between 27 and 40,
    • Those who are unable to lose weight despite diet and exercise, or who quickly regain the weight they lose,
    • Those who experience problems such as joint pain, sleep apnea, or insulin resistance due to excess weight,
    • Those who are not psychologically or medically ready for bariatric surgery,
    • Those who are willing and open to collaborating on at least a 6–12 month lifestyle change.

    The final decision is always made based on a personal examination, blood tests, and an assessment of overall health.

    Advantages of the Gastric Balloon

    Gastric balloons are an attractive option for many patients due to their non-surgical nature and reversibility. In the right patient, and when expectations are managed realistically, highly successful results can be achieved.

    Key advantages of gastric balloons:

    Administered without surgical incision, endoscopically or via a swallowable balloon.
    It accelerates lifestyle change by providing significant weight loss within 6–12 months.
    It makes diet adherence easier by reducing appetite and portion sizes.

    The balloon should be removable or naturally ejected at the end of the specified period (depending on the technique used).

    Gastric Balloon Procedure: Step-by-Step

    The gastric balloon procedure is a much shorter and more comfortable process compared to surgery. Nevertheless, each step is planned and controlled.In general, the process consists of the following steps:
    Initial Consultation and Planning – Your medical history, medications, BMI, and weight loss goals are evaluated; the appropriate balloon type is determined.
    Preparation Period – A specific period of fasting, restrictions on smoking and alcohol, and medication adjustments if necessary are planned prior to the procedure.
    Balloon Placement – Depending on the chosen technique, the balloon is placed in the stomach using endoscopy or swallowed in capsule form and inflated inside the stomach. The procedure takes an average of 20–30 minutes.
    Short Observation Period – Patients are observed in the clinic for a short period during the first few hours to monitor complaints such as nausea and bloating.
    Nutrition and Follow-up – The process is supported by a liquid diet on the first day, followed by a gradual transition to soft foods and regular dietitian check-ups.

    Recovery After Gastric Balloon

    Although the recovery process after gastric balloon placement is faster than after surgical procedures, it takes a few weeks for the body to adapt to the new situation.Key points regarding the recovery process:
    • Nausea, bloating, and cramp-like stomach sensitivity may occur during the first 2–3 days; these symptoms are usually controlled with medication.
    • A diet consisting mainly of liquids and pureed foods is preferred during the first week, transitioning to small, frequent meals.
    • Most patients can return to their daily light activities within 2–3 days; activities requiring intense physical effort should be postponed for several weeks.
    • Adherence to the nutrition plan and follow-up appointments during the time the balloon remains in the stomach directly affects the amount of weight loss achieved.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Gastric Balloon
    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much weight can I lose with a gastric balloon?
    Although weight loss varies from person to person, patients can generally lose between 10% and 20% of their excess weight within 6 to 12 months. Diet and lifestyle compliance directly affect this rate.
    Is the gastric balloon permanent?
    No. Depending on the type of balloon used, it typically remains in the stomach for 4–12 months. When the period expires, the balloon is either removed endoscopically or, in the case of swallowable balloons, expelled from the body naturally.
    Is general anesthesia required when placing a gastric balloon?
    No. Gastric balloon placement does not require general anesthesia. It is performed with mild or deep sedation, allowing the patient to remain comfortable without being fully unconscious. The procedure takes about 10–15 minutes, and patients usually go home shortly after.
    Can I return to work immediately after the balloon is inserted?
    Many patients can return to light work within 2–3 days. However, it is beneficial to plan a short rest period for nausea and fatigue that may occur in the first few days.
    Will I regain the weight I lost after the gastric balloon is removed?
    The balloon is a tool that initiates and accelerates the weight loss process. If dietary and lifestyle changes are not sustained, the weight may return. Therefore, dietitian follow-up and behavioral change are the most important parts of the process.
    How should nutrition be after a gastric balloon procedure?
    In the early days, a diet consisting mainly of liquids and purees is followed, then transitioning to soft foods and balanced meals in small portions. It is recommended to avoid carbonated drinks, fatty foods, and sugary foods.
    Can a gastric balloon be placed in every obesity patient?
    No. It may not be suitable for patients with a very high BMI, severe reflux, stomach ulcers, large hernias, or who have undergone certain stomach surgeries. Suitability must be assessed by a physician.
    Does the gastric balloon have a psychological effect?
    Many patients report an increase in self-confidence and greater ease in social situations along with weight loss. However, for individuals with emotional eating behaviors, combining this with a psychological support process yields healthier results.
    How do you choose between gastric balloon and other bariatric surgeries?
    The choice is made based on the target weight, existing health problems, age, and expectations. In some patients, the gastric balloon may be planned as a preparatory step for subsequent gastric sleeve or bypass surgery.
    What should I do to get detailed information about the gastric balloon?
    You can schedule an online or in-person preliminary consultation with Buşra Nur Özger to assess your suitability and learn about your personalized treatment and pricing plan.
