Gastric Balloon Turkey

Professional Gastric Balloon Procedure – Achieve Your Weight Loss Goals Safely

Struggling with weight management can affect your confidence and overall quality of life. At Mapa Health, we offer professional and non-surgical gastric balloon procedures to help you achieve effective and sustainable weight loss without the need for surgery.

Methodology and Procedure

Our gastric balloon treatments involve placing a soft silicone balloon in the stomach via endoscopy and filling it with saline. This reduces the stomach’s capacity, limiting food intake and helping regulate appetite. Each procedure is customized to suit your specific needs and health goals.

What sets our treatments apart is our dedication to precision, safety, and exceptional outcomes. Using advanced endoscopic techniques, we ensure minimal discomfort and deliver effective results tailored to each patient’s needs.

Our gastric balloon procedure addresses concerns such as weight management and obesity, with key benefits such as:

  • Non-Surgical Solution: Achieve significant weight loss without invasive surgery.
  • Improved Eating Habits: Control portion sizes and develop healthier eating patterns.
  • Boosted Confidence: Feel more confident with a lighter and healthier physique.
  • Temporary and Adjustable: A flexible option that can be removed or adjusted as needed.

At Mapa Health, we are dedicated to providing exceptional care and transformative results. With our expertise and personalized approach, you can confidently take control of your health and well-being.

Weight loss surgery costs in Turkey typically range between €2,500 and €8,000. The final price depends on factors such as the type of procedure (e.g., gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, or gastric balloon), the reputation of the clinic, and the experience of the medical team. While affordability is a key advantage of Turkey, it’s crucial to prioritize quality and safety over the lowest price.

Risks & Safety Information

Intragastric balloon is a non-surgical, temporary weight loss device placed endoscopically in the stomach for 6–12 months. It reduces stomach capacity and promotes early satiety without any incisions.

  • Nausea, vomiting, and cramping during the first 3–7 days (most common, treatable)
  • Acid reflux and stomach discomfort during adaptation
  • Balloon deflation and migration (rare with modern designs, <1%)
  • Gastric ulceration if balloon irritates stomach lining
  • Weight regain after balloon removal if lifestyle changes are not maintained
✓ Safety Assurance:

Balloon placement and removal are performed endoscopically under mild sedation (15–20 minutes each). No incisions or general anesthesia required. Modern balloons (Orbera, Spatz3) have adjustable or dual-balloon designs for improved tolerability.
