Bariatric Surgery
Gastric Balloon

Individuals with weight problems often look for different solutions. Gastric balloon is one of these solutions. This procedure is applied in the treatment of obesity and allows weight loss in a short time without surgery. The method that changes the eating habits and ensures less consumption makes it easier for the person to create a balanced and healthy eating behavior. Gastric balloon is a restrictive medical application that makes you feel full thanks to a balloon that takes up volume in the stomach, hence reducing the amount of food consumed and allowing the person to feel full faster. Thanks to this application, it is possible to lose weight between a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 25 kg.

The procedure removes fat that is difficult to remove by targeted exercise or diet. The success of such surgery depends on the elasticity of the patient’s skin, age, weight and his/her expectations. Liposuction is a body shaping operation and is definitely not a weight loss surgery.

Is weight gained after gastric balloon removal?

VASER stands for ‘Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance’. It is a liposuction technique that uses ultrasound waves to break up and liquefy fat cells, making them easier to extract through small incisions (0.5cm). Then, the melted fats are taken out of the body through cannulas. Since Vaser targets fat cells, unlike other methods, it does not damage connective tissues. Vaser liposuction is preferred to dissolve fats that resist to diet and exercise. Thus Vaser liposuction can be effectively applied in many areas for adults who have stubborn fat.

How Does a Gastric Balloon Weaken?

Gastric balloon is a restrictive medical application that makes you feel full thanks to a balloon that gains volume in the stomach without causing any side effects or incisions in the body. The main purpose is to reduce the amount of food to lose weight rapidly. However, if you do not regulate your eating habits, you will regain weight in a short time after the gastric balloon’s removal. You should keep in mind that gastric balloon alone is not a definite solution.

Are there any side effects of Gastric Balloon?

Symptoms such as nausea, stomach cramps, or vomiting may occur shortly after gastric balloon placement. Such symptoms are very common in the first few days, since a foreign body is placed in the stomach. Gastrointestinal or pain medications may be recommended to relieve these symptoms. Generally, these side effects disappear 3-4 days after the balloon’s insertion. If these incoveniences persist, the gastric balloon may need to be removed. İn some rare cases, the body does not accept the balloon or the stomach and the balloon do not match, but this is a very uncommon situation.
