Nausea, vomiting and stomach cramps are common for the first two to four days while your stomach adapts. We want you close by, with anti-sickness medication and intravenous fluids if you cannot keep drinks down. You fly home once you are drinking comfortably and the team has checked you.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n        <details><summary><h3>How is a gastric balloon removed, and do I need to come back to Istanbul?<\/h3><\/summary><div><p>An endoscopic gastric balloon is removed with another short endoscopy under sedation at around 6 or 12 months, depending on the type. Most patients return to Istanbul for a short removal trip, which we plan with you from the start. A swallowable gastric balloon is designed to empty by itself after several months and pass naturally, so it does not normally need an endoscopic removal.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n        <details><summary><h3>Which gastric balloon type suits me: 6-month, 12-month or swallowable?<\/h3><\/summary><div><p>A 6-month endoscopic gastric balloon is the most studied option and suits most people starting out. A 12-month adjustable balloon gives longer support and its volume can be changed, but it needs two endoscopies. A swallowable balloon avoids endoscopy for placement but stays for a shorter time, usually several months. Your BMI, goals, travel plans and medical history guide the doctor's recommendation.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n        <details><summary><h3>How much weight can I realistically lose with a gastric balloon?<\/h3><\/summary><div><p>Studies of endoscopic gastric balloons report an average loss of roughly 10 to 13 percent of total body weight at six months. This figure comes from an ASGE task force meta-analysis, and individual results vary widely. Some weight is often regained after removal. The habits you build with the dietitian while the gastric balloon is in place are what protect your result in the long run.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n        <details><summary><h3>Can I have a gastric balloon if I have acid reflux or a hiatus hernia?<\/h3><\/summary><div><p>Mild, controlled reflux does not always rule out a gastric balloon. However, a large hiatus hernia, severe oesophagitis, active stomach ulcers or previous stomach surgery usually do. Everyone is screened for these before placement. The balloon can make reflux worse, so everyone takes acid-reducing medication while it is in place. If reflux is significant, the doctor may recommend an endoscopy first or suggest another option.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n        <details><summary><h3>What can I eat in the first weeks with a gastric balloon?<\/h3><\/summary><div><p>You start with clear liquids, then move to full liquids, pur\u00e9e and soft foods over about three weeks, following the dietitian's plan. From around week three, you eat small, balanced meals: protein first, vegetables next, then small amounts of starch. Eat slowly, avoid fizzy drinks and keep drinks separate from meals. A Vivid Clinic dietitian supports you remotely throughout the balloon period.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n        <details><summary><h3>When can I return to work and exercise after a gastric balloon?<\/h3><\/summary><div><p>Most people return to desk work after three to five days, once the early nausea settles. Light walking is fine straight away, and normal exercise usually resumes after about one to two weeks. The first days can be uncomfortable, so plan rest rather than work during your stay in Istanbul. Contact the team urgently for severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting or signs of dehydration.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <!-- ============ FINAL FORM ============ -->\n  <section class=\"sec\" id=\"free-plan\" aria-labelledby=\"plan-h\">\n    <div class=\"wrap final\">\n      <div>\n        <span class=\"eyebrow\">Free assessment<\/span>\n        <h2 id=\"plan-h\">Plan your gastric balloon in Istanbul<\/h2>\n        <p class=\"lead\">Send your height, weight, medical history and medications.
