GASTRIC BALLOON SURGERY

A gastric balloon is a chamber filled with water or air that is inserted into the stomach. Thanks to this chamber, the volume of the stomach is reduced by a certain amount. The gastric balloon is usually inserted into the stomach using endoscopic methods. In other words, no surgical incisions or sutures are used in the application of the intragastric balloon. Thanks to the intragastric balloon, the amount and frequency of eating is reduced. This allows one to feel fuller for longer with less food. This helps the individual to lose weight easily with the help of various exercises and diet programmes.

There are many types of intragastric balloons. Some of them can be used for 12 months while others are suitable for 6 months. Again, some intragastric balloons should be removed at the end of their useful life, while others dissolve spontaneously in the stomach. When choosing a gastric balloon, the patient’s requirements and needs are given priority.

The gastric balloon is inserted endoscopically. This means that no surgical incisions or sutures are made during the procedure.

Before the gastric balloon is inserted, the patients are anaesthetised. This prevents the patients from feeling pain and discomfort. After the anaesthetic, the patient’s oesophagus, stomach and intestines are checked for any problems. If there is no problem that could be an obstacle to the application, the balloon placement is initiated. In this procedure, the intragastric balloon is inserted through the patient’s mouth into the stomach using a special device. An endoscopy is then performed again to make sure that the intragastric balloon can be placed smoothly. Finally, if no problem is found, the balloon in the patient’s stomach is filled with air or liquid. All procedures are completed in about 15 minutes. However, this time may vary slightly from person to person.

After the gastric balloon procedure, patients are usually admitted to hospital for a few hours and then discharged. Some side effects such as stomach pain, vomiting and cramps may occur after the procedure. However, these effects disappear spontaneously within 3 days in most patients and within 1 week in some patients. After surgery, patients can return to work after 1 to 3 days, depending on the doctor’s recommendation. However, it is recommended to avoid heavy and strenuous physical activities for a while.

It may be necessary to regulate the diet after the use of a gastric balloon. Patients are advised to seek advice from a specialised nutritionist after this application. In this way, the expected weight loss process can be continued after the operation in a healthier as well as more efficient way.
