Gastric Balloon at Meral Clinic, Istanbul 🌟
The gastric balloon is a groundbreaking, non-surgical procedure designed to help individuals achieve significant weight loss by reducing the stomach’s capacity and promoting a feeling of fullness. It’s an ideal solution for those looking to kickstart their weight-loss journey and embrace a healthier lifestyle. 💪🍽️
At Meral Clinic, located in the heart of Istanbul, we offer world-class medical services, including gastric balloon procedures, performed by our highly skilled and experienced team. 🌍✨
What is a Gastric Balloon? 🤔
The gastric balloon is a silicone device placed in the stomach to limit food intake and enhance the sensation of satiety. Once inserted, it is filled with a saline solution, occupying space in the stomach to reduce hunger and make it easier to stick to a healthy diet for long-term weight loss. 🌿💧
Benefits of the Gastric Balloon 🌟
- Effective Weight Loss: Patients can lose 10-20% of their body weight over six months, especially with proper dietary habits and physical activity. 🏋️♂️🥗
- Minimally Invasive: Unlike traditional bariatric surgeries, this procedure doesn’t involve incisions or permanent changes to the digestive system. ✂️🚫
- Improved Overall Health: Weight loss can lead to better management of obesity-related conditions like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. ❤️💊
- Quick Recovery: Most patients resume daily activities within 24-48 hours post-procedure. ⏳🏃♀️
How the Procedure is Performed 💉
The gastric balloon procedure is simple and takes only 20-30 minutes: ⏱️
- Preparation: Patients undergo a detailed medical evaluation to confirm their suitability for the procedure. 🩺📝
- Insertion: The balloon is introduced through the mouth using an endoscope (a flexible tube with a camera), performed under mild sedation for comfort. 📹😌
- Inflation: Once positioned in the stomach, the balloon is filled with a sterile saline solution, occupying significant space. 💧🎈
- Post-Procedure: After confirming placement, patients are monitored briefly before being discharged. 🏥🚶♂️
Aftercare and Removal 🛌
- Dietary Guidelines: Start with a liquid-only diet for 24-48 hours, then transition to soft foods before returning to regular meals. 🍹🍴
- Follow-ups: At Meral Clinic, we provide comprehensive post-procedure support, including dietary counseling and regular check-ups. 🗓️🤝
