The gastric balloon remains in the body for a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 12 months. If it is desired to continue the balloon insertion after the 12th month, the old balloon is removed. A new one is installed. Gastric balloon insertion can be done in two ways. It is not surgery. No incision is made.
Gastric balloon placement is done in two ways:
Gastric balloon application is used by people who cannot lose weight by their own efforts. This procedure can be used if the person needs to lose weight in a short time due to heart disease or diabetes. It can be worn if the person's body mass index is over 25. It is also a safer way for people who do not want surgical intervention. People who are morbidly obese can have a gastric balloon inserted until they reach their surgical weight.
The gastric balloon does not burst, but can be punctured. Gastric balloon is not really a balloon in terms of structure. It is called the gastric balloon because it is a swelling object in the stomach. If it is punctured, the urine will be blue in color, which will be noticed by the patients. Blue water is injected into the balloons. For this reason, when it is pierced, it turns the urine into a blue color while removing water from the body. Afterwards, a doctor is consulted to remove the deflated balloon remaining in the stomach. However, the probability of the balloon being punctured is very small. There is no harm to the person by puncturing the balloon.
There are many people who lose weight with a gastric balloon. Since the gastric balloon covers half of the stomach, it gives a feeling of satiety and facilitates weight loss. However, there are things that need to be done in order for this weight loss to be at the maximum level. First of all, fast food is an example. Sometimes one should eat as little as possible, although one rewards oneself with this type of food. Avoid foods with high fat and additives. In addition to a balanced diet, it is also important to exercise. Even 30-45 minutes of daily walks will help one's weight loss adventure.
Before removing the gastric balloon, the filled balloon is emptied. The evacuated balloon is removed from the patient's mouth with the help of endoscopy. The patient does not feel any pain or pain during this period. The swallowable gastric balloon has a timer valve. This cover opens at the end of 16 weeks. Thus, the liquid is discharged. The balloon goes through the digestive system and is excreted as feces. No action is required for a swallowable gastric balloon.
It is possible to gain weight after the gastric balloon is removed. After removing the balloon, the person's stomach will return to its original state, and the feeling of hunger will be restored. The person can stop this feeling of hunger by following his diet. A person whose eating habits have become healthy while the balloon is in place should continue in this way after the balloon is removed. If a person shows a healthy diet, his own stomach will gradually shrink. Thus, the feeling of hunger will be the same as when the balloon is attached. It is important to continue sports during this period.
