Differences between Bariatric Surgery Types and Gastric Balloon Method

In general terms, we can explain gastric bypass, gastric sleeve and gastric balloon as follows;

Gastric Bypass

It is an operation that is performed by connecting the upper part of the stomach to the small intestine. This method aims to reduce absorption by shrinking the stomach. A small pouch is formed in the part of the stomach where food is to be taken. In this way, you will reach the saturation point in a much shorter time and your body will get rid of taking more calories. Gastric bypass is performed by open surgery or laparoscopy method.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery

The purpose of gastric sleeve surgery is to shrink the stomach so that it does not hold excess food. In this operation, part of the stomach is removed. Gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey is usually performed with the laparoscopy method. This weight loss surgery will help you recover in a short time and lose weight fast. In this way, you will no longer be able to eat as much as before.

Gastric Balloon

It is applied with a balloon that is placed in the stomach and filled with air or water. The balloon placed in your stomach with endoscopy and it is inflated with serum. It is usually applied to people with a Body Mass Index between 25 and 45, and this method is applied to the patient temporarily. It takes 30 minutes for the balloon to be fully placed into the body and it is used for approximately 6-12 months.

We always live in struggle with our excess weight. However, if we experience some health problems such as Type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular health problems which related to weight gain, it is time to take an action. You can have a healthier life in a short time by coming to Estpital
