The gastrıc ballon for 6 or 12 month
The gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight loss treatment designed to help patients lose weight safely and effectively. The procedure involves placing a soft silicone balloon inside the stomach, which is then filled with saline solution. This reduces the available space in the stomach, helping patients feel full sooner and eat smaller portions.
At Best Clinic Istanbul, gastric balloon treatments are performed by experienced specialists using modern endoscopic techniques. The balloon can remain in the stomach for 6 months or 12 months, depending on the patient’s needs and treatment plan.
What Is a Gastric Balloon?
A gastric balloon is a temporary, non-surgical weight loss solution placed in the stomach through a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure. Once inside the stomach, the balloon is filled with sterile saline to partially occupy the stomach space.
Because the stomach is partially filled, patients feel full faster and consume fewer calories, which supports gradual and sustainable weight loss.
This treatment is ideal for patients who want to lose weight but are not ready for surgical procedures such as gastric sleeve or bypass.
