One of the most frequently asked questions about gastric balloon treatment is whether the procedure is painful. The short answer: Not really. The gastric balloon is an endoscopic, non-surgical method that takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.

Most patients experience mild to moderate cramps for the first 1–2 days after the procedure — a completely normal and temporary side effect. At Istanbul Obesity Center, we support our patients with IV therapy, anti-cramp medication, and personalized care to ensure the experience is as smooth and comfortable as possible.

In this article, we’ll walk you through the full process, what to expect, and how we help you feel your best from day one.

Gastric bypass is a well-established and effective weight loss surgery designed for individuals who struggle with obesity and related health conditions.

🧠 How does it work?
The procedure reduces the size of your stomach and reroutes part of the digestive system. This leads to feeling full with less food and absorbing fewer calories.

✅ Who is it for?
Gastric bypass is considered for patients with:
📍 A BMI of 30 or higher with obesity-related conditions (type 2 diabetes, PCOS, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc.)
📍 Or a BMI of 35+, regardless of additional conditions

💡 Benefits include:
📍Significant and sustainable weight loss
📍Better control of blood sugar and blood pressure
📍Long-term reduction in hunger and cravings
📍Improved quality of life and mobility

At Istanbul Obesity Center, we combine expert surgical care with long-term nutrition follow-up and full medical support before and after your surgery.

🌍 Thousands have trusted us to take this life-changing step safely — maybe it’s your turn?
