Gastric Bypass in Turkey
While endoscopic gastric balloon treatment has been successfully applied for many years, swallowable gastric balloon or elipse gastric balloon procedures have gained prominence as alternative methods due to the lack of sedation during the procedure and the absence of endoscopic assistance. In the swallowable gastric balloon procedure, the patient swallows a capsule-shaped balloon attached to a thin wire in an uninflated state with plenty of water. For patients who have difficulty swallowing the balloon, the doctor can assist the patient in swallowing the balloon using a thin guide wire. Once the balloon reaches the stomach, the doctor verifies its correct placement through imaging methods such as X-rays. An apparatus resembling a thin wire at the end of the balloon allows for inflation of the balloon. The doctor ensures that the balloon is correctly positioned and proceeds to inflate the balloon using approximately 500 mL of water containing potassium sorbate. After inflating the balloon to the desired extent, the final position is rechecked. Following thorough checks, the apparatus at the end of the balloon is carefully removed by the expert doctor. The swallowable gastric balloon procedure takes approximately 20 minutes. Since no anesthesia is administered during the procedure, the patient can return to their daily life shortly afterward. The swallowable gastric balloon has a leak-proof and soluble valve. Approximately 4 months later, the valve dissolves, the fluid inside the balloon is emptied, and the deflated balloon passes through the intestines and is excreted from the body. Due to the absence of anesthesia and endoscopy during placement and removal, the swallowable gastric balloon is one of the preferred methods for patients who have been unsuccessful in losing weight through diet and exercise.

What is the Gastric Bypass?
The Allurion Swallowable Gastric Balloon (Allurion Elipse Gastric Balloon) is the world's first endoscopy- and anesthesia-free gastric balloon. It offers the same effects and mechanism as other gastric balloons. The first gastric balloons were introduced in the 1980s for weight loss purposes. The placement, inflation, and removal of traditional endoscopic gastric balloons required anesthesia and endoscopy. In the 2010s, the Elipse swallowable gastric balloon was developed to overcome these requirements, making it the most widely used gastric balloon in the world.
Gastric balloons occupy space in the stomach, creating a constant feeling of fullness. They also slow down the passage of food, thereby aiding in the weight loss process. They are a commonly used option for non-surgical obesity treatment and weight loss methods. The Allurion gastric balloon is widely used due to its advantages.
Elipse Swallowed with water
The balloon, compressed inside a capsule, is swallowed with the help of water. The capsule is of a size that can be easily swallowed.
-
The Gastric Bypass is placed in the stomach
- Inflated in the stomach
- After confirming the position of the balloon using X-ray, it is inflated with water through a thin, flexible tube.
- The swallowable gastric balloon is expelled through bowel movements
- Naturally expelled
- After 16 weeks, the valve of the balloon is opened, and the balloon deflates. It is naturally expelled through the intestines.
The Allurion Elipse Swallowable Gastric Balloon is compressed in a capsule shape and can be easily swallowed due to its reduced size. It is sometimes referred to as a gastric balloon pill. The balloon is made of thin, state-of-the-art polyurethane material, which is smooth and causes fewer side effects compared to other gastric balloons. Its thinness does not compromise its durability. Like other gastric balloons, it is resistant to stomach acid for an extended period. These advantages provide a more comfortable experience for individuals who want to lose weight. Additionally, the Elipse (Allurion) Gastric Balloon facilitates easy and natural expulsion from the body after the treatment process.
The Allurion Elipse Swallowable Gastric Balloon remains in the stomach for approximately 16 weeks and then deflates on its own, being expelled naturally. During this time, you can expect to lose about 10-15% of your body weight. According to research, the majority of weight loss with the gastric balloon method occurs within the first four months. Its effectiveness diminishes in the subsequent period. However, the Allurion Weight Loss Program lasts for six months and continues even after the balloon is expelled from the body.
Along with the Allurion Weight Loss Program, individuals are monitored online with the help of the Allurion Smart Scale, Allurion Smart Watch, and the Allurion Mobile Application, all providing support from a registered dietitian. This aims to maintain the nutritional habits and lifestyle changes acquired through the swallowable gastric balloon and prevent weight regain. The results show that individuals can maintain 95% of the weight loss achieved through the program within one year.
