Why International Patients Choose Gastric Balloon Istanbul
Gastric balloon Istanbul has become the leading non-surgical weight loss option for international patients seeking effective, safe and affordable weight management without surgery. Every year thousands of patients from the UK, Ireland, USA, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Italy, Australia and beyond travel to Istanbul for gastric balloon procedures — choosing Estelux for our combination of specialist bariatric expertise, all-inclusive care packages and significant cost savings compared to home country prices.
At Estelux Istanbul, every gastric balloon procedure is performed by Op. Dr. Aslan — a specialist bariatric surgeon dedicated entirely to obesity and metabolic medicine, with extensive experience in both surgical and non-surgical weight loss procedures. According to the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity (IFSO), the gastric balloon is one of the safest and most effective non-surgical weight loss options available — particularly for patients with BMI 27-40 who are not candidates for or wish to avoid bariatric surgery.
💰 Save Significantly vs UK & Ireland Prices
UK private clinics charge £5,000-£8,000 for gastric balloon procedures. In Ireland, prices range from €4,500 to €7,000. NHS does not routinely fund gastric balloon — most patients face long waiting lists or out-of-pocket private costs. At Estelux Istanbul, our all-inclusive gastric balloon package costs significantly less and includes the procedure, hotel accommodation, VIP transfers and 6-month dietary support — completely transparent pricing with no hidden costs.
Our gastric balloon Istanbul packages cover the full 6-month programme from initial procedure to balloon removal — including endoscopic placement by Op. Dr. Aslan, 1-2 night hotel stay, VIP airport transfers, all pre-operative tests, post-operative dietary plan and 6 months of remote WhatsApp follow-up support. Whether you've been waiting on a long NHS list, comparing private prices in Ireland or exploring weight loss options at home — gastric balloon Istanbul offers a faster, more affordable path to effective weight loss.
What is a Gastric Balloon?
A gastric balloon is a soft, silicone balloon placed inside the stomach via endoscopy — without any surgery or incisions. Once in place, it is filled with a sterile saline solution, occupying space in the stomach and creating a persistent feeling of fullness with significantly less food. The result is a reduced appetite and consistent, gradual weight loss over 6 months.
At Estelux Istanbul, the gastric balloon Istanbul procedure is performed by Op. Dr. Aslan — a specialist bariatric surgeon with extensive experience in non-surgical weight loss procedures. The entire procedure takes 20-30 minutes, performed under light sedation, and most patients are discharged the same day.
