Endoscopic 12-month gastric balloon is a seamless procedure that does not require surgery. It is placed in the stomach via endoscopy. It is inflated to take up space in the stomach. Thus, the person's stomach seems to shrink. In this way, he is full by eating less food. It becomes easy to follow the diet.
The endoscopic 12-month gastric balloon is attached to the person by giving anesthesia. After the person is put to sleep, a balloon is placed in the stomach with an endoscope. After this balloon is placed, a special extension line is used. Thanks to this special extension line, it is inflated with serum. Thus, the process ends. Endoscopic 12-month gastric balloon insertion takes approximately 30 minutes.
The amount of weight lost per month with the endoscopic 12-month gastric balloon depends on the patient's compliance with his diet. A person who follows his diet properly can lose up to 30% of his weight. It is possible to lose 15 kilos in the first three months. It is necessary to know that the weight will not go away very quickly. In addition to diet, exercise is also necessary to lose weight. The weight that a person will lose varies according to how many kilograms he/she weighs above his/her average weight.
The body mass index of the person is important for the endoscopic 12-month gastric balloon application. If the body mass index is between 27 and 35, it is suitable for inserting an endoscopic 12-month gastric balloon. If the patient is morbidly obese, it is also used to reduce the weight appropriate for surgery. Generally, this procedure can be applied if the person's weight is low (between 10-30 kilos) but cannot lose it.
