Gastric balloon is an obesity treatment that provides weight loss without any surgical intervention. Gastric balloon is an inflatable plastic sphere in a silicone structure. It is placed in the stomach through endoscopy. The procedure is performed under anesthesia and takes about 15-20 minutes. The purpose of the gastric balloon is to reduce the stomach volume when the balloon is inflated in the stomach. Since the stomach volume decreases, less food is eaten than normal and a feeling of fullness occurs. The balloon is an application that enables patients to change their eating habits and to lose 10 to 25 kilos between 6 months and 1 year while experiencing a feeling of satiety in this process.
