Extended hospital stays are often recommended to ensure proper healing and to monitor for any postoperative complications such as infections or digestive issues.

The intragastric balloon is a non-surgical weight-loss method where a balloon is inserted into the stomach to reduce its capacity temporarily. While it can be an effective weight-loss tool, patients may experience side effects like nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, acid reflux, and, in rare cases, balloon deflation or migration. Most side effects occur in the first few days after the procedure and can be managed with medication.
The cost of a gastric balloon procedure varies depending on the country and clinic, but it is generally more affordable than more invasive bariatric surgeries. In Antalya, the cost can range from $2,000 to $4,000, which is significantly less than in Western countries. The price typically includes the balloon insertion, removal, and follow-up care.
The cost of a gastric sleeve in Antalya generally ranges from £2,500 to £4,500, depending on the clinic and any additional services included. This price is considerably lower than in the UK, US, or Europe, making Antalya a top choice for medical tourists.
