Gastric Balloon Turkey at Carely Clinic is a non-surgical, temporary weight loss treatment where a soft silicone balloon is placed in the stomach to reduce hunger, portion size, and overall calorie intake under medical supervision.
Gastric balloon in Turkey is widely chosen by patients who want effective weight loss with minimal risk and no surgical incisions. According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), intragastric balloon therapy enables patients to lose 10–15% of total body weight within 6 months when combined with structured nutritional support and lifestyle modification.
The balloon remains in place for approximately six months before being removed through a second endoscopic procedure. During this period, patients develop sustainable eating patterns and improved portion awareness, which helps maintain weight loss after removal.
Gastric Balloon Turkey works by filling part of the stomach with a saline-filled silicone balloon, creating early fullness, reducing hunger signals, and naturally lowering daily calorie intake without any incisions.
This expanded balloon occupies space inside the stomach, stimulating stretch receptors that send early satiety signals to the brain. As a result, patients feel full after consuming smaller portions and experience reduced hunger between meals. This leads to a natural calorie reduction of approximately 30–40%, without the intense deprivation associated with traditional dieting.
The entire procedure takes 20–30 minutes, and patients typically return home the same day. Initial adaptation may involve mild nausea or discomfort for a few days as the stomach adjusts. After this phase, most patients report improved appetite control and steady weight reduction.
Clinical research published in Obesity Surgery (2024) shows that patients who follow structured dietary programs after gastric balloon placement maintain up to 60–70% of their weight loss one year after balloon removal.
Gastric Balloon Turkey is best suited for adults with a BMI between 27 and 40 who want to lose 10–25 kg without permanent bariatric surgery and are ready to follow structured nutritional guidance.
BMI between 27 and 40
Age 18–65 with realistic expectations
Desire to lose 10–25 kg
History of unsuccessful diet and exercise attempts
No active gastric ulcers, large hiatal hernia, or bleeding disorders
Not pregnant and no inflammatory bowel disease
Psychological readiness for lifestyle changes
Willingness to follow nutritional guidance
Ability to attend regular follow-up visits
No dependency on NSAIDs or contraindicated medications
Motivated with long-term commitment to healthy habits
The gastric balloon is a supportive tool — not a cure for obesity. Long-term success depends on behavioural change, dietary discipline, and regular medical follow-up.
Several gastric balloon systems are available in Turkey, including single, dual, adjustable, and swallowable capsule balloons, allowing the treatment to be tailored to different stomach anatomies and weight loss goals.
The most commonly used system, filled with saline and left in the stomach for 6 months. Provides consistent satiety and effective short-term weight loss.
Two smaller balloons designed to reduce migration risk and improve comfort, often preferred for patients with sensitive stomachs.
Allows volume modification during treatment, enabling weight loss optimisation without removal and reinsertion.
A non-endoscopic option that is swallowed like a pill, expands inside the stomach, and naturally deflates after 4–6 months. Ideal for patients who wish to avoid endoscopy.
At Carely Clinic, the most appropriate gastric balloon type is selected following a detailed medical evaluation to ensure maximum safety, comfort, and effectiveness.
Turkey is one of the leading destinations for Gastric Balloon treatment, offering advanced endoscopy units, experienced bariatric teams, and all-inclusive packages that are up to 70% cheaper than in the UK, USA, or Germany.
The gastric balloon procedure in Turkey costs approximately €2,000 all-inclusive, representing savings of up to 70% compared to Western countries — without compromising safety, technology, or clinical expertise.
According to Turkish Ministry of Health data, over 2 million international patients visit Turkey annually, with bariatric and weight loss treatments ranking among the most requested procedures. Istanbul hosts numerous JCI-accredited hospitals equipped with modern endoscopy units and dedicated bariatric teams, delivering outcomes comparable to leading institutions in Europe and the USA.
High procedural volumes allow Turkish specialists to refine technique and maximize patient safety. OECD Health Statistics (2024) confirms Turkey achieves equivalent clinical results to Western Europe while offering faster access and structured all-inclusive packages.
Strategic geographic positioning enables easy access from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with direct flights under 4–5 hours from most major cities. This convenience, combined with coordinated patient care and luxury accommodation, transforms treatment into a smooth and stress-free experience.
| Country | Gastric Balloon Cost (EUR/USD/GBP) | Wait Time | Includes |

| 🇹🇷 Turkey | €2,000 / $2,180 / £1,720 | No wait | Everything included |
| 🇺🇸 USA | €7,300 / $8,000 / £6,280 | 2-3 weeks | Procedure only |

Clinical data show that Gastric Balloon Turkey can help patients lose around 10–15% of their total body weight in six months while improving appetite control, metabolic health, and joint comfort without permanent anatomical changes.
This procedure delivers both physical and metabolic benefits, making it an ideal option for patients who are not ready for surgical intervention but still want professional medical support for weight reduction.
Most patients lose 10–15% of total body weight within six months, typically equating to 8–18 kg depending on starting BMI and adherence to dietary plans.
Gastric balloon placement requires no incisions, no stitches, and no general anesthesia, significantly reducing procedural risks and downtime.
The balloon is safely removed after six months, restoring normal stomach anatomy — making it ideal for patients seeking temporary weight loss support.
Up to 60–70% of pre-diabetic patients experience improved blood sugar regulation, potentially delaying or preventing Type 2 diabetes development.
Studies show 55–65% improvement in hypertension, allowing some patients to reduce or eliminate medications under medical supervision.
Lower body weight reduces mechanical pressure on knees and hips, improving mobility and activity tolerance.
The six-month treatment period helps establish lasting habits such as portion control, mindful eating, and consistent physical activity — supporting long-term success.
At €2,000 all-inclusive, Gastric Balloon Turkey offers 70–75% savings compared to Western countries, making medically supervised weight loss more accessible than ever.
Gastric Balloon Turkey is ideal for patients who are not ready for permanent bariatric surgery but need a medically supervised, low-risk solution that delivers visible weight loss while building lifelong eating discipline.
Although Gastric Balloon Turkey is considered low risk and non-surgical, it can cause temporary nausea, discomfort, or rare complications such as ulcers or balloon deflation, which remain manageable in experienced centres.
The stomach initially reacts to the balloon as a foreign object. Symptoms subside as the body adapts and are effectively controlled with anti-nausea medications.
Prolonged contact between the balloon and stomach lining may cause irritation or minor ulcers, typically managed with proton pump inhibitors.
Severe intolerance (persistent nausea, reflux, abdominal discomfort) may require early removal in a small percentage of patients.
Rare spontaneous deflation may occur, often indicated by discoloured urine due to dye leakage inside the balloon.
In very rare cases, a deflated balloon may migrate into the intestines and require endoscopic or surgical retrieval.
An extremely rare but serious complication, usually linked to untreated ulcers or excessive balloon pressure.
Minor abrasions during insertion may occur but typically heal without intervention.
Insufficient results usually relate to non-compliance with dietary and lifestyle guidance rather than balloon failure itself.
Gastric Balloon Turkey is not suitable for individuals with:
Active gastric or duodenal ulcers
Prior stomach surgery altering anatomy
Large hiatal hernia
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Inflammatory bowel disease
Anticoagulant use
Severe eating disorders or untreated psychological conditions
Active substance abuse
Every patient undergoes medical screening to determine suitability before treatment.
Carely Clinic follows strict, evidence-based protocols to ensure maximum safety:
Mandatory pre-procedure gastroscopy to detect ulcers or anatomical risks
ASMBS & IFSO-aligned endoscopic standards
Gradual diet progression plan to reduce intolerance
Continuous use of gastric-protective medications
24/7 WhatsApp access for real-time medical guidance
Structured follow-ups at weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24
Emergency access pathways for urgent endoscopic intervention
Enhanced Recovery Protocols reduce complication rates by up to 30% and are applied throughout your treatment journey.
Recovery after Gastric Balloon Turkey is fast, with most patients resuming light daily activities within a few days while following a structured liquid-to-soft diet progression under medical supervision.
Since this is a non-surgical procedure, no hospital stay is required. Patients remain in Turkey for only 4 days, during which they are closely monitored through scheduled check-ups and continuous medical guidance.
The first 48–72 hours are the most sensitive period as your stomach adapts to the balloon. Mild nausea, bloating, or discomfort may occur, but these symptoms are temporary and effectively controlled with prescribed medication and dietary support.
Most patients feel significantly better after the third day and can resume light daily activities, continuing their recovery comfortably at home with full WhatsApp support from Carely Clinic.
Days 1–5 represent the most challenging period as the stomach reacts to the balloon’s presence. Symptoms such as nausea, bloating, reflux, and mild cramping are common but temporary and controlled through anti-nausea medications and acid suppressants.
Diet is limited to clear liquids only, including water, herbal teas, broth, and sugar-free electrolyte beverages. Short walks of 10–15 minutes every few hours help reduce discomfort and support gastric adaptation.
By days 4–5, most patients progress safely to full liquids such as protein shakes, strained soups, and yogurt. Discomfort peaks around days 2–3 and steadily improves thereafter.
Diet advances to puréed foods followed by soft foods. Meals are small and frequent, consumed every 2–3 hours to prevent overfilling and discomfort. Protein intake is prioritised at 60–80g per day through eggs, fish, yogurt, and shakes.
Energy levels increase noticeably. Patients resume light daily activity and typically return to desk work between weeks 2 and 3. Structured weekly consultations with your nutritionist allow real-time adjustments based on tolerance and early weight loss response.
Physical activity expands to moderate exercise, aiming for 150 minutes per week. Resistance training begins to support muscle preservation. Solid foods reintegrate gradually, with emphasis on lean proteins, fibre-rich vegetables, and controlled carbohydrate intake.
During this phase, patients typically lose 2–3 kg per month. Appetite control becomes more stable, and most individuals naturally consume 40–50% less food than before balloon placement.
Weight loss continues steadily, reaching 10–15% of total body weight by month six. Eating behaviours become habitual, reinforcing portion control and mindful eating.
Balloon removal takes place at month six through a brief endoscopic procedure under light sedation. This marks the transition into weight maintenance with continued lifestyle guidance to preserve results.
Carely Clinic provides ongoing aftercare for gastric balloon patients through lifetime WhatsApp access, regular nutritionist follow-ups, and structured weight maintenance support beyond the six-month balloon period.
During the six-month balloon period:
Weekly nutritionist video consultations
Continuous dietary coaching
Behavioural modification guidance
Supplementation monitoring
After removal:
Ongoing metabolic assessments
Long-term weight maintenance planning
A 24/7 emergency hotline remains active throughout treatment for immediate medical support.
