What is Ellipse Balloon?
In short, it is a type of stomach balloon that does not require endoscopy and can be swallowed. Just like other stomach balloons, it covers a certain volume in your stomach, allowing you to get full faster with less food. It also helps you lose weight by extending the transition time of food from the stomach, making you hungry later. So you can diet without difficulty and easily get rid of your extra pounds. An ingestible balloon provides you with the time you need to get into a healthy eating habit during the time it is in your stomach. Ellipse balloon is a type of gastric balloon that can be applied without anesthesia and endoscopy. The balloon, which is in the form of a capsule, is swallowed with the help of water together with the filling catheter attached to the capsule. After that, the position of the balloon in the stomach is checked by Abdominal X-Ray (X-ray) and the balloon is inflated by your doctor. The catheter is slowly removed through the mouth and the procedure is completed.How is Ellipse Balloon Done?
The Ellipse balloon, defined as the first swallowable stomach balloon, is a procedure that does not require endoscopy and anesthesia. On average, it is an operation of 15-20 minutes. After swallowing a capsule with a thin tube, an X-ray taken by a doctor determines that the capsule is in the stomach, then the balloon is filled with air or water in the tube and the process is completed. An ellipse gastric balloon is an operation performed in a hospital setting. A soft balloon filled with liquid or air is determined by a second X-ray to be taken that is full and inside the stomach. The catheter that makes the balloon swell is removed by the doctor. The patient continues his daily life with ease. Swallowing a gastric balloon is quite easy. For this, it is first determined by the doctor whether this procedure is suitable or not. The capsule, which is a deflated balloon in its contents, is swallowed accompanied by a thin tube. After a short-term operation, a return to normal life occurs immediately.What are the Ellipse Balloon Risks?
The risk of complications during the installation of an ellipse balloon is quite low. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain in the early period after balloon insertion are side effects that may occur and are rare. In the first 7 days, the patient may not tolerate the balloon due to these side effects, and the probability of balloon removal is about 1-2%. In such a situation, the balloon can be removed by endoscopy. A gastric balloon that helps obesity patients lose weight without surgical intervention is much more effective in combination with a low-calorie ketogenic diet. When the rate of weight loss decreases in the first 12 weeks of treatment, the ketogenic diet applied increases the rate of weight loss even more.

Elipse balloon procedure
The Elipse balloon is a gastric balloon that is swallowed like a pill and that, after 4 months in the stomach, is eliminated from the body like any other food that we ingest. This procedure without anesthesia or endoscopy is recommended for patients with a BMI between 27-40, with which they can lose up to 15 kilos. The Elipse balloon comes in a capsule form (a bit larger than an antibiotic pill) and has a tube attached that allows the balloon to be filled, avoiding sedation and the endoscopy. The process is carried out in the consultation, where the x-ray is done prior to the filling of the balloon to make sure that the pill has entered the stomach properly. It will remain there for 16 weeks, helping to decrease the caloric digestion throughout that period and allowing weight loss of 10-15kg. Once the 16 weeks are over, the balloon’s valve opens, this deflates the balloon and it is passed through the body with the feces without the need for an endoscopy or a trip to the hospital to extract it.Cost of an elipse balloon in Turkey
In the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe, the ellipse balloon prices are between £4000 –£5000. However, ellipse balloon cost in Turkey is around 50% lower. The reason behind the big difference between Europe and Turkey is the average labor costs for each country. In Turkey, the labor cost is much lower than it is in Europe. This allows more people to have their treatments at affordable prices and meanwhile the plastic surgeons in Turkey get more and more experienced compared to their European colleagues. BUT, your first concern should always be the safety of your treatment. Thus, you should check if the provider is accredited by the Ministry of Health and the hospitals are internationally approved. And, If you have the ellipse balloon in Turkey most hospitals will give you the option to have a treatment package that covers the treatment cost, hospital stay, airport transfer, city transfer, accommodation, and patient host services.
