      I traveled to Turkey from the UK to have a gastric balloon inserted. I was nervous at first but thanks to the professional team, Dr.Salim, and service at Alika Health Group I felt very safe and comfortable. The procedure was over quickly about 20 minutes and the pain free . The hotel was lovely and the entire process was very smooth. The ongoing support I received after returning home was a huge help throughout this process. Thank you to everyone.

      On the recommendation of a close friend I had a 6 month gastric balloon done at Alika Health Group. The procedure took less than half an hour and I didnt experience any pain afterward. They handled the entire hospital process vip transfers hotel and gave me supplements before I returned home. After returning to UK, I continued to receive support from the dietitian and followup care. Its been about two months since the procedure and I have lost approximately 40lbs. I’d like to thank the entire team especially my surgeon Dr.Salim.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a Gastric Balloon?
    A gastric balloon is a non-surgical, reversible weight loss procedure where a soft silicone balloon is placed inside the stomach endoscopically and filled with sterile saline. It takes up space in the stomach, helping you feel full faster and eat smaller portions, leading to gradual and effective weight loss over 6 months.
    Is the gastric balloon procedure painful?
    No, the procedure itself is not painful. It is performed under light sedation and typically takes only 15-20 minutes. After placement, some patients experience mild discomfort, nausea, or bloating for a few days as the body adjusts to the balloon. These symptoms are managed with medication and resolve quickly.
    Who is eligible for a gastric balloon?
    The gastric balloon is suitable for adults with a BMI of 27 or higher who want to lose weight without surgery. It is ideal for people who have struggled with diet and exercise alone, or who are not eligible for bariatric surgery. A consultation with our medical team will confirm whether it is the right option for you.
    Why choose Turkey for a gastric balloon?
    Turkey offers world-class medical care at a fraction of the cost found in the UK, US, or Western Europe. At Alika Health Group, you receive treatment from highly experienced bariatric surgeons in JCI-accredited hospitals, with all-inclusive packages covering hospital, hotel, VIP transfers, medication, and 12-month follow-up support.
    Is a gastric balloon safe?
    Yes, the gastric balloon is one of the safest weight loss procedures available. It is non-surgical, fully reversible, and performed by experienced specialists. The Medsil balloon used at Alika Health Group is CE-certified and meets the highest international safety standards. Serious complications are very rare.
    Which is better, gastric sleeve or gastric balloon?
    Both are effective, but they serve different needs. Gastric balloon is non-surgical, reversible, and ideal for moderate weight loss (15-25 kg) over 6 months. Gastric sleeve is a permanent surgical procedure recommended for higher BMI patients seeking long-term, significant weight loss. Our team will recommend the best option based on your BMI, medical history, and goals.
