The balloon is passed through the mouth under light sedation and filled with saline, occupying part of the stomach so you feel full sooner. It is the entry point for patients with a lower BMI, for those not ready for surgery, or as a pre-operative step to reduce liver size before a sleeve. Typical loss is 10–20 kg while it is in place; keeping it off depends entirely on the habits built during those months, which is why the dietitian programme runs alongside.
Turkey combines high surgical volume with lower running costs, which is why the same materials and devices used in Western Europe cost a fraction here. Swedish Clinic works inside a licensed full-fledged hospital under a Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate, holds Temos international accreditation and runs an ISO 9001 (UKAS) certified management system — the three things worth checking before you book anywhere abroad.

I wanted my nose softened, not replaced. The surgeon showed me the simulation and the result is exactly that.

Fourteen months on and I am 38 kilos lighter. The dietitian called me every single month — that made the difference.
