Like any medical procedure, there are risks associated with undergoing a gastric balloon procedure in Turkey. Some potential risks of the procedure include:
- Nausea, vomiting, and discomfort: These are common side effects of the procedure that usually go away within a few days.
- Infection: There is a small risk of infection during or after the procedure.
- Balloon deflation: Although rare, there is a chance that the balloon could deflate, causing it to move through the digestive system and possibly cause a blockage.
- Perforation: Although rare, there is a slight risk of the balloon puncturing the stomach or intestines during insertion.
- Acid reflux: Some people may experience acid reflux after the procedure due to changes in the stomach’s size and shape.
It’s important to discuss these risks and any concerns you may have with your doctor before deciding to undergo a gastric balloon procedure. They can provide you with more information about the procedure’s risks and benefits based on your individual health history and needs.
