Obesity Surgical Methods
The Gastric Balloon is placed in the stomach in about 10 minutes. After the treatment, you can leave the hospital after resting for 1-2 hours. You will not feel any discomfort after the procedure. Gastric balloons create a feeling of satiety in the person. In addition, it reduces the feeling of hunger by delaying gastric emptying with the hormone Ghrelin.
Thanks to the volume they occupy in the stomach, Gastric balloons enable people to eat less and reach the ideal weight earlier than the standard diet. We aim to ensure that the person prefers portions with high nutritional value and low-calorie content. We also aim for the patient to turn this habit into a lifestyle that will meet their daily needs.
Since the gastric balloon remains in the stomach for a long time, such as 6-12 months, it becomes easier to gain healthy and regular eating habits. In other words, you will have a perfect body with the gastric balloon effect.
Today, approximately 50% of obesity surgeries are performed with Gastric Bypass surgery. Weight loss surgery can be a life-saving intervention for some people who cannot lose weight on their own. Some patients cannot eliminate excess body fat just by diet and exercise. After Gastric Bypass Surgery, patients lose approximately 30% to 50% of their excess weight within six months.
One of the most commonly used methods in obesity surgery is Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery. Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery removes a large part of the stomach with laparoscopic management and shapes it into a tube. Gastric sleeve surgeries are also used as transition management in obese patients. It is an effective method used to prepare the patient for bypass surgeries.
