The €2,000 package includes a 6-month FDA-approved intragastric balloon inserted endoscopically at a JCI-accredited hospital - no surgery, no incisions, no general anesthesia. Also included: experienced gastroenterologist, day case procedure (no overnight hospital stay), 3 nights at a 5-star hotel, VIP airport transfers, pre-op tests and endoscopy, nutritionist consultation, all medications for the adjustment period, 6-month diet support program, and lifetime WhatsApp aftercare.

The package does not include flights, travel insurance, personal expenses, or balloon removal (which can be done locally or in Istanbul). Note: balloon removal is a separate quick procedure after 6 months. If you want a permanent surgical solution with more weight loss, our Gastric Sleeve at €2,600 or Gastric Bypass at €2,750 offer 60-80% excess weight loss. For a lighter option, Stomach Botox at €1,800 is even less invasive.

Most patients lose 15-25kg (10-15% of body weight) during the 6 months the balloon is in place. Results depend on following the diet plan and lifestyle changes. The balloon is a tool to help you develop healthy habits - your commitment determines success.

Gastric balloon is ideal for people with BMI 27-40 who want to lose weight without surgery. It's perfect if you need to lose 15-30kg, aren't ready for surgery, or want a temporary solution. It's also used as a first step before bariatric surgery for very high BMI patients.

Just 3 nights in Istanbul - the shortest stay of any weight loss procedure. Day 1: Arrival. Day 2: Consultation, tests, and balloon insertion (same day). Day 3: Follow-up and departure. It's the quickest weight loss procedure with minimal time away from home.

The insertion is performed under sedation - you won't feel anything. Afterward, you may experience nausea, cramping, and discomfort for the first 3-5 days as your body adjusts. Medication is provided to manage these symptoms, and they usually resolve within a week.

You'll start with liquids for the first few days, then progress to soft foods and eventually regular foods. You'll eat smaller portions and feel full faster. Our nutritionist provides a detailed 6-month meal plan. The balloon teaches portion control naturally.

The balloon remains in your stomach for 6 months - the optimal time for weight loss and habit formation. After 6 months, it must be removed to prevent complications. Removal is another quick endoscopic procedure (15 minutes).

You can return to Istanbul for removal (we offer a removal package), or have it removed by a gastroenterologist in your home country. We provide documentation for your local doctor. Removal is a quick 15-minute procedure.

You receive 6-month diet support plus lifetime WhatsApp aftercare with direct access to your medical team. This includes 24/7 support for any questions, dietary guidance, video consultations if needed, and coordination for your balloon removal - all at no additional cost.

Lower operating costs, favorable exchange rates, and high procedure volume allow premium care at lower prices. We use the same FDA-approved balloons used worldwide. You receive excellent care at 50-60% less than Western countries.
