What Is a Gastric Balloon (Non-Surgical Weight Loss)?

At Avolin Health, we offer this effective alternative for those who prefer to avoid surgery or are not candidates for permanent bariatric operations.

A gastric balloon is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure designed to help individuals struggling with obesity achieve meaningful weight reduction. Unlike traditional bariatric surgeries that permanently alter the digestive system, the gastric balloon is a temporary device placed in the stomach to assist patients in reducing food intake and developing healthier eating habits.

How Is a Gastric Balloon Procedure Performed?

The procedure is performed endoscopically under mild sedation, requiring no incisions or general anesthesia:

  • Efficient Application: A soft silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach and filled with sterile saline or air. The entire process typically takes only 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Early Satiety: By occupying space in the stomach, the balloon limits capacity and leads to feeling full much faster, naturally decreasing caloric consumption.
  • Temporary Assistance: The balloon typically remains in place for six months, providing a window of opportunity to reset eating habits before being removed via a similar endoscopic procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a gastric balloon procedure and how does it work?
A gastric balloon is a soft silicone balloon placed in the stomach either endoscopically or as a swallowable capsule. The balloon takes up space in the stomach, helping you feel full with smaller portions. At Avolin Health, we use this method to facilitate portion control and accelerate your weight loss journey.
Is the procedure a surgical operation?
No. A gastric balloon is not a surgery; it involves no incisions or stitches. The procedure is performed endoscopically under mild sedation or via swallowable technology. With Avolin Health, you can return to your social life on the same day.
How much weight can I lose with a gastric balloon?
While weight loss varies per individual, the typical goal is a loss of 10% to 20% of total body weight. With the support of Avolin Health nutritionists, you can complete this process with maximum efficiency.
How long does the gastric balloon stay in the body?
Depending on the type of balloon, it usually stays in the stomach for 6 or 12 months. Swallowable balloons naturally deflate and pass through the body after about 4 months. Avolin Health specialists will recommend the balloon type that best suits your goals.
Will there be nausea or pain after the procedure?
It is normal to experience mild nausea, cramps, or heartburn for the first 2-3 days as the body adjusts to the balloon. Avolin Health doctors will provide the necessary medication and a nutrition plan to ensure you pass this period comfortably.
Who is a suitable candidate for a gastric balloon?
It is ideal for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 27 and 35 who have been unable to lose weight through diet and exercise. Avolin Health also safely applies this method for patients who face surgical risks or need to lose weight before bariatric surgery.
Will I regain weight after the balloon is removed?
The gastric balloon is a supportive tool. If you maintain the healthy eating habits you acquired while the balloon was in place, you will keep the weight off. Avolin Health dietitians continue to guide you even after the balloon is removed.
How does Avolin Health manage the process for international patients?
A stay of 2-3 days in Istanbul is sufficient for our international guests. Avolin Health professionally coordinates your weight loss journey with VIP transfers, accommodation, and remote dietary support after the procedure.
