WHAT IS SWALLOWABLE GASTRIC BALLOON?

A swallowable gastric balloon is a treatment for overweight people, without a surgical procedure. Being overweight is one of the biggest barriers to a healthy life. One of the reasons that makes it difficult to lose weight is because of our meal portions and not being active enough to get rid of it.

As a result of the swallowable gastric balloon taking up space in the stomach, the portions are reduced to the ideal size, and the weight that turns into an obstacle begins to disappear in a healthy way. It is the meaning of feeling full faster. Small portions will become enough to be full, as the space of the stomach is reduced with the swallowable gastric balloon. Since the gastric emptying takes a long amount of time, the time to stay full also increases.

The swallowable gastric balloon stays in the stomach for a period of 4 months. Air gets taken out of the balloon, before the balloon gets taken out from a patient. During this period of time, you can lose about 10-15% of your weight. According to studies, most of the weight lost in the stomach balloon method is in the first 4 months.

How is Gastric Balloon Placed?

Step 1:  Swallow with water

The balloon compressed into the capsule is swallowed with the help of water. The capsule is large enough to be swallowed.

Step 2:  Filled in stomach with water

After checking the location of the balloon with x-ray, the balloon is inflated with water through a thin flexible tube.

Step 3: Passes out Naturally

At the end of 16 weeks, the lid in the balloon opens and the balloon deflates. It passes out naturally through the intestines.

The risk of complications during insertion of an ellipse (swallowable) gastric balloon is very low.

Nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain are possible side effects in the early period (first 3-4 days) after balloon insertion and are rare.

How much will I lose?

Our experience shows that the gastric balloon procedure typically results in a weight loss of 1.5-2.5 (an average of 9.5 – 10 kg) stone during the first 6 months with the balloon in place, but some have successfully delivered much more.
