INTRAGASTRIC BALLOON

Gastricballooning is one of the methods of weakening that can be done by endoscopic means. It is a method that benefits due to the overlay of the balloon in the stomach and the feeling of saturation and the stuffing of the stomach more quickly. Gastric balloon treatments can involved losing between 10-25 kg of weight. However, as with all slimming methods, changes in the patient’s permanent lifestyle, permanent improvements in eating and drinking habits make weight loss permanent.

Gastric Balloon placement

After eight hours of starvation, the patient is put to sleep with sedoanalgesia and the gastric balloon is placed in the stomach with endoscopy. The balloon is then inflated with saline colored with methylene blue and the air balloon is inflated with normal room air. In general, balloons are inflated with an average liquid or air of 500 ml. As the size of the balloon increases, the feeling of fullness and satiation in the stomach increases, but tolerance is difficult. When there is leaking in the saline and methylene blue balloon placed in the balloon, the saline fluid, which is colored with methylene blue, is put in the urine and feces to be obvious by giving it a blue color.

How Thin Can People Get With An Intra-Stomach Slimming Balloon?

With intra-stomach balloon therapy, people can lose about 36-40% of their weight. Or in other words, they can give 30-40 kg in 12-month balloons or 6-month-old balloons applied twice in a while

Is there a difference between 6-month balloon therapy and balloon application in 12 months?

It is claimed that ballooning in 12 months will give the person the chance to create a more permanent lifestyle change and make the person lose more permanent weight. Gaining a habit of eating permanently can be more difficult after a 6-month monthly balloon. However, it can be applied twice in a 6-month balloon and converted into 12-month treatment. Assuming that one-fifth of the patients cannot tolerate the balloon early, it can be seen that the 6-month balloon will result in less economic loss.

Twelve months of balloons can increase and reduce the amount of fluid loaded into the balloon thanks to the flexible connection at the end, thus allowing it to reduce nausea. Likewise, there is a chance to increase the fluid in the balloon to increase the weight loss rate if desired later.
