Does Not Require Endoscopy and Anesthesia

The biggest difference of the Elipse gastric balloon is, of course, the method of application. The gastric balloon swallowed with water eliminates all the negative effects that endoscopy and anesthesia may cause. In addition to providing great convenience for patients who do not have anesthesia, it is also ideal for patients who have reservations about anesthesia or endoscopy procedures. The number of people who are afraid of anesthesia is considerable, and it is really important for these people to be able to have a gastric balloon inserted without experiencing any anesthesia stress. In addition, since people are conscious and in communication during the application, the stress experienced is minimal.

The Likelihood of Complications and Side Effects is Very Low

The likelihood of complications and side effects in swallowable gastric balloon applications is extremely lower compared to standard balloons. This is due to the ease of application and the thin and flexible structure of the balloon. In other gastric balloons, in cases of up to 20%, the balloon may need to be removed due to complications and severe side effects. In the Allurion Gastric Balloon, this rate is only 1.49%
When we look at the comments of our patients who had the Elipse gastric balloon inserted, they say that they either did not experience any complaints such as nausea and cramps, or that they only had short-term and mild discomfort.

Ease of Tracking

The most important step in obesity treatment is follow-up. Being under the supervision of both your dietitian and your doctor will help you lose weight in a healthy and balanced way. However, our patients living in a different city other than Muğla or abroad may experience many difficulties in this regard. For standard balloons, it is necessary to come at least 2 times to have a gastric balloon inserted and to have the gastric balloon removed. Patients have to come for follow-up or they are deprived of the follow-up part of the treatment and have difficulty achieving the desired results.
Allurion Gastric Balloon can save you serious time and money, as it only needs to be applied once, regardless of where the patient lives. You can continue your dietitian support online and share your measurements with your doctor with the smart scale, smart watch and mobile application that come with it. In this way, you can easily follow up and get the support you need during the weight loss process. Considering this aspect and result-oriented approach, the price, which seems to be an advantage of standard gastric balloons, also becomes a disadvantage. Especially for a patient coming from abroad, the total price of the Elipse gastric balloon is cheaper than standard balloons. Of course, it is a smart choice to have a more comfortable and advantageous gastric balloon installed at less cost.

Note: We offer accommodation in our Akyaka Yücelen Hotel for our patients coming from all surrounding provinces such as Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Denizli, Aydın and Antalya, before and after the treatment service in our hospitals.
