What is a swallowable gastric balloon?

The swallowable gastric balloon, also known as the ellipse gastric balloon, is a type of gastric balloon designed with the latest technology, which is used in the treatment of obesity and can be inserted into the stomach without the need for anesthesia and surgery.

WHY SWALLOWABLE GASTRIC BALLOON?

Gastric Balloon is swallowed with water.

Ellipse Gastric Balloon does not require endoscopy and anesthesia. It is applied by swallowing with water.

It is naturally excreted from the body.

It does not require removal. The balloon dissolves by itself and is expelled from the body by discharge.


Ellipse swallowable gastric balloon is a suitable procedure for those;
- With a body mass index over 25
- Between the ages of 18-65,
- Who are obesity patients,
- Who had dieted before and failed,
- Who are at risk of surgery or anesthesia,
- Who do not dare to undergo obesity surgeries.


The most important difference between the swallowable gastric balloon and the other gastric balloon method is that it can be applied without the need for endoscopy and anesthesia. The balloon is in pill form attached to a thin catheter (tube). After swallowing the balloon, it is checked with the help of x-rays to ensure it has settled in the stomach. After making sure that it is well placed, the balloon is filled with a special liquid with the help of the catheter, and the catheter is slowly withdrawn. The balloon stays in the stomach for 4-6 months, after which it is expelled from the body. It is possible to lose an average of 10-15% of your starting weight in these four months. Thanks to the smart scale and smartwatch you will have with the procedure, you can easily follow up, share your measurements with your doctor, and get the support you need during the weight loss process. The Swallowable Gastric Balloon is an effective method that is frequently preferred, especially since our patients coming from abroad do not have to come back again and again for both follow-up and removal.
