    What is a Gastric Balloon?

    A gastric balloon is a weight loss procedure that involves placing a balloon inside your stomach to
    limit the amount of food that can be stored. The balloon is filled with saline solution or air and is
    inserted using an endoscopic procedure. 

    A gastric balloon in Turkey is a non-surgical, minimally invasive weight loss option. The idea is to
    create a sense of fullness, so you eat less and lose weight. The procedure does not require incisions
    or general anesthesia.
