Gastric Balloon with Go Health

Losing weight can be extremely hard for several reasons. If you’re ready to take a big leap forward,
we are here to take that big step with you.

What is a Gastric Balloon?

A gastric balloon is a weight loss procedure that involves placing a balloon inside your stomach to
limit the amount of food that can be stored. The balloon is filled with saline solution or air and is
inserted using an endoscopic procedure. 

A gastric balloon in Turkey is a non-surgical, minimally invasive weight loss option. The idea is to
create a sense of fullness, so you eat less and lose weight. The procedure does not require incisions
or general anesthesia.

What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages of a Gastric Balloon?

 

A gastric balloon in Turkey is one of the most popular bariatric surgeries for a series of reasons.

These include:

balloons do not require incisions or general anesthesia.
you can usually return to your normal activities within a few days
balloons have shown to be effective in helping patients lose weight, especially when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.
balloon can be removed if needed, and the stomach returns to its original size.
it is less expensive than other weight loss surgeries, such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy.

You should also consider the negative sides to the procedure:

Like any medical procedure, the procedure carries some risks. We will go through them in detail below.
Gastric balloons stay in place for 6 months, and must then be removed. Weight loss achieved may not be sustained.
You may experience nausea and vomiting after the procedure.
You must follow strict dietary guidelines to avoid complications and ensure the best results.
As with any weight loss procedure, results can be unpredictable and may vary from person to person.
