WHAT IS GASTRIC BALLOON ?<\/h3>\n
Gastric balloon application is not a surgical procedure. In this application, a special balloon is used and the inside of this balloon placed in the stomach is inflated with 400-700 cc of liquid or air. The area occupied by the balloon in the stomach decreases the stomach volume and therefore the food intake rate decreases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

HOW LONG WILL I STAY AT THE HOSPITAL ?<\/h3>\n

\n
\n

WHAT CAN HAPPEN AFTER THE APPLICATION ?<\/h3>\n
This balloon placed in the stomach can be evaluated as a foreign body and a reaction may occur in the stomach against the balloon. In other words, the stomach may contract and try to throw it out. For this reason, some complaints may occur for 2-3 days after the application, although not in everyone. These are: - Nausea, - Vomiting and - Cramp-style pains. These complaints are usually temporary and disappear after a few days. Surgical intervention is not required for the treatment of these complaints. Medical treatments and regulation of nutrition method are sufficient.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN I LOSE ?<\/h3>\n

WILL I LOSE WEIGHT ONLY BY BALLOON ?<\/h3>\n
No. After the application, calorie restriction should be made (1000-1200 Kcal per day) to enable the patient to lose weight. In addition to calorie restriction, it is very important to change the lifestyle of the patients in order for weight loss to be permanent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

IF I CANNOT GET ENOUGH WEIGHT IN 6 MONTHS WITH THE BALLOON, CAN I HAVE A BALLOON AGAIN ?<\/h3>\n
After six months of balloon application, if sufficient and desired weight loss cannot be achieved, the balloon can be placed again. If the balloon application needs to be repeated in this way, it is recommended that the stomach of the patients be rested for 1 month. Apart from that, if you gain weight again at a later time, the balloon can be applied again without waiting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While these effects can be reduced as much as possible with medical treatment, the right food choices will make you more comfortable and prevent your motivation from falling.<\/p>\n
