Gastric Balloon Turkey Cost 2026: Prices & Packages

What Is Included in Our Gastric Balloon Turkey Packages?

International patients often compare gastric balloon prices without checking what is actually included.

A low advertised price may not represent the total amount you will spend.

Our current packages include:

Gastric Balloon Device

The selected original gastric balloon system is included in the package price.

Medical Consultation

Your medical history, BMI, current health and suitability for treatment are assessed before the procedure.

Required Tests and Examinations

Necessary pre-procedure assessments are included according to your medical requirements.

Gastric Balloon Placement

The balloon placement procedure is included.

For MedSil, Spatz3 and ORBERA365, placement is performed endoscopically.

Allurion is normally swallowed without endoscopic placement.

Sedation When Required

Sedation associated with endoscopic balloon placement is included where medically required.

Same-Day Discharge

Gastric balloon treatment normally does not require an overnight hospital admission in uncomplicated cases.

Patients are monitored after the procedure and can usually leave after medical clearance.

Two Nights of Hotel Accommodation

Our current package includes 2 nights of hotel accommodation for international patients.

Airport Transfers

Airport shuttle transfers are included in the treatment package.

English-Speaking Patient Assistance

International patient support is available throughout the treatment process.

Dietitian Support

Dietary guidance is an essential part of gastric balloon treatment.

The balloon is a temporary tool. Long-term results depend on learning sustainable eating and lifestyle habits.

Follow-Up Support

Patients receive follow-up support after the procedure.

Balloon Removal

Scheduled balloon removal is included for MedSil, Spatz3 and ORBERA365.

Allurion normally does not require scheduled removal because it is designed to empty and pass naturally.

​

Are There Any Extra Costs?

For an uncomplicated treatment performed according to the planned package, the principal services listed above are included.

However, patients should understand that additional medical expenses may arise if an unexpected medical condition, complication, additional diagnostic test, extra medication, prolonged accommodation or unplanned procedure becomes necessary.

For this reason, patients should always ask what is included before selecting a clinic based only on the advertised gastric balloon price.

​

Which Is the Cheapest Gastric Balloon in Turkey?

At our clinic, MedSil is currently the cheapest gastric balloon option at €2,250.

The current price order is:

1. MedSil: €2,250

2. Allurion: €2,450

3. Spatz3: €3,000

4. ORBERA365: €3,150

However, the cheapest balloon is not automatically the best option.

For example, a patient who strongly wants to avoid endoscopy may find Allurion more appropriate despite its slightly higher price.

A patient wanting a longer treatment period may prefer Spatz3 or ORBERA365.

The medical suitability of the treatment should always come before price.

​

Which Gastric Balloon Offers the Best Value?

There is no universal answer because "best value" depends on what matters most to you.

Best for Lowest Price

MedSil: €2,250

MedSil offers a traditional six-month gastric balloon program at the lowest current package price.

Best for Avoiding Routine Endoscopy

Allurion: €2,450

Allurion is swallowed and normally avoids endoscopy and anesthesia for placement.

Best for Adjustability

Spatz3: €3,000

Spatz3 is designed to allow the balloon volume to be modified during treatment when medically appropriate.

Best for Long-Term Fixed-Volume Treatment

ORBERA365: €3,150

ORBERA365 provides a longer treatment period without the adjustable mechanism used by Spatz.

​

Why Is Gastric Balloon Treatment Cheaper in Turkey?

One of the most common questions from international patients is why gastric balloon treatment can cost less in Turkey than private treatment in countries such as the United Kingdom or United States.

Lower prices in Turkey do not necessarily mean that the gastric balloon itself is cheaper or different.

Several economic factors affect the total cost of treatment, including:

• Lower operating costs

• Lower staffing costs

• Different hospital cost structures

• Exchange-rate differences

• Competitive medical tourism market

• Lower accommodation and service costs

The important question is therefore not simply:

"Which clinic has the lowest price?"

Instead ask:

"Which balloon am I receiving, who is performing my treatment, what is included, and what follow-up will I receive?"

​

Why Very Cheap Gastric Balloon Prices Should Be Checked Carefully

Gastric balloon prices that appear significantly below the normal market level deserve additional investigation.

Ask the clinic:

• What exact balloon brand will be used?

• Is the device original?

• Who will perform the procedure?

• Where will the procedure take place?

• Is sedation included?

• Are medical tests included?

• Is balloon removal included?

• Is dietitian follow-up included?

• Is accommodation included?

• Are airport transfers included?

• What happens if there is a medical problem after treatment?

A gastric balloon is a medical device placed inside the body.

The decision should not be based on price alone.

​

Gastric Balloon Cost: Turkey vs UK, Europe and USA

Gastric balloon treatment in Istanbul is often chosen by international patients because private treatment costs can be considerably higher in Western Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Turkey can also offer an advantage because accommodation, airport transportation and patient coordination can be combined with the procedure into a single medical tourism package.

When comparing countries, make sure you compare the total cost, not simply the balloon procedure.

Consider:

• Medical fees

• Balloon device

• Endoscopy

• Sedation

• Diagnostic tests

• Hotel

• Airport transport

• Dietitian

• Follow-up

• Removal procedure

• Return trip for removal if required

A cheaper procedure abroad may not be cheaper overall if essential services are excluded.

​

Do I Need to Return to Turkey for Balloon Removal?

This depends on the gastric balloon.

Allurion

Normally, no scheduled removal is required because the balloon is designed to empty and pass naturally.

MedSil

Yes, MedSil requires endoscopic removal after the treatment period.

Spatz3

Yes, Spatz requires endoscopic removal.

ORBERA365

Yes, ORBERA365 requires endoscopic removal.

International patients choosing an endoscopically removed balloon should include the removal plan in their travel planning.

Our current treatment package includes the scheduled removal procedure for MedSil, Spatz3 and ORBERA365.

​

How Long Should I Stay in Istanbul After Gastric Balloon Placement?

Most gastric balloon treatments are performed as outpatient procedures.

Our package currently includes two nights of hotel accommodation.

The exact length of stay appropriate for you depends on:

• Balloon type

• How you tolerate the balloon

• Nausea or vomiting

• Your general health

• Doctor's assessment

• Travel distance

Patients should not book a flight that leaves immediately after treatment without discussing travel timing with the medical team.

​

How Long Does Gastric Balloon Placement Take?

The actual procedure is relatively short.

Traditional endoscopic gastric balloons can generally be placed within a short endoscopic session, although preparation, sedation and recovery increase the total time spent at the medical facility.

Allurion placement is different because the balloon is swallowed as a capsule and its position is confirmed before filling.

Patients should allow sufficient time for medical evaluation, treatment and observation rather than planning around the procedure time alone.

​

Is Gastric Balloon Surgery?

No.

A gastric balloon is considered a non-surgical weight loss treatment.

Traditional gastric balloons are placed through the mouth using endoscopy rather than through abdominal incisions.

The stomach is not cut, stapled or permanently altered.

Allurion normally avoids even routine endoscopy during placement.

However, "non-surgical" does not mean risk-free.

A gastric balloon remains a medical treatment and should only be performed after appropriate medical assessment.

​

How Does a Gastric Balloon Help With Weight Loss?

A gastric balloon occupies space inside the stomach.

This can help patients:

• Feel full sooner

• Eat smaller portions

• Reduce food intake

• Become more aware of eating habits

The balloon is intended to work together with nutrition, behavioral change and physical activity.

It does not permanently change the digestive system.

After removal or natural passage of the balloon, maintaining the new habits developed during treatment becomes especially important.

​

How Much Weight Can I Lose With a Gastric Balloon?

There is no guaranteed amount of weight loss.

Results vary according to:

• Balloon type

• Starting weight

• BMI

• Age

• Metabolic health

• Eating habits

• Physical activity

• Treatment duration

• Compliance with dietary guidance

• Individual response to treatment

Many gastric balloon studies report weight loss using total body weight loss percentage, rather than only kilograms.

The most useful question is not simply how many kilograms another patient lost, but what percentage of your own body weight may reasonably be lost based on your individual circumstances.

Your doctor and dietitian can give you a more individualized assessment.

​

Which Gastric Balloon Is Best for Weight Loss?

There is no single gastric balloon that produces the best result for every person.

Treatment success depends on both the device and the patient's participation.

Choose Allurion if:

Avoiding routine endoscopy and anesthesia is one of your highest priorities.

Choose MedSil if:

You want a traditional six-month balloon at the lowest current treatment price.

Choose Spatz3 if:

You want a longer-duration balloon with the possibility of changing its volume.

Choose ORBERA365 if:

You want a long-duration, fixed-volume gastric balloon from the Orbera family.

The final decision should be made after medical assessment.

​

Allurion vs Orbera Cost in Turkey

At our clinic:

Allurion: €2,450

ORBERA365: €3,150

The €700 price difference reflects two very different treatment approaches.

Allurion is designed for approximately four months and normally does not require routine endoscopic placement or removal.

ORBERA365 is placed and removed endoscopically and provides a much longer treatment period.

Patients should therefore compare treatment design rather than price alone.

​

Allurion vs Spatz Cost in Turkey

At our clinic:

Allurion: €2,450

Spatz3: €3,000

Allurion is generally chosen for convenience and avoidance of routine endoscopy.

Spatz3 is chosen for longer treatment and adjustability.

The current price difference is €550.

​

Spatz vs Orbera Cost in Turkey

At our clinic:

Spatz3: €3,000

ORBERA365: €3,150

The current price difference is only €150.

The more important difference is the device design.

Spatz3 is adjustable.

ORBERA365 is non-adjustable.

Therefore, price alone should not determine the choice between these two balloons.

​

MedSil vs Allurion Cost in Turkey

At our clinic:

MedSil: €2,250

Allurion: €2,450

The price difference is currently €200.

MedSil requires endoscopic placement and removal.

Allurion normally does not require routine endoscopy for placement and is designed to pass naturally.

This makes them very different treatments despite their relatively small price difference.

​

What BMI Do You Need for a Gastric Balloon?

Eligibility depends on the specific device, regulatory indication, medical history and individual circumstances.

BMI alone should not be used to determine treatment.

For example, the U.S. FDA indication approved for the Allurion Gastric Balloon System in 2026 covers eligible adults aged 22 to 65 with a BMI from 30 to 40 who have previously attempted weight loss.

Other balloon systems and countries may use different eligibility criteria.

Before treatment, we ask patients to provide:

• Age

• Height

• Weight

• BMI if known

• Current medications

• Medical conditions

• Previous abdominal or stomach surgery

• Previous bariatric treatment

Your doctor then evaluates whether gastric balloon treatment is appropriate.

​

Who Should Not Have a Gastric Balloon?

A gastric balloon may not be appropriate for some patients.

Possible contraindications vary by device but can include certain:

• Previous stomach or gastrointestinal operations

• Active gastrointestinal diseases

• Stomach ulcers

• Significant swallowing disorders

• Pregnancy

• Serious uncontrolled medical conditions

• Conditions that increase endoscopy, sedation or gastrointestinal risk

This is why every patient requires medical screening.

Patients should not choose a balloon based solely on price without disclosing their medical history.

​

Gastric Balloon Side Effects

The most common symptoms occur during the initial adaptation period.

These may include:

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Abdominal cramps

• Stomach discomfort

• Reflux

• Feeling very full

• Reduced appetite

Symptoms often improve as the stomach adapts, but individual experiences vary.

Medication may be prescribed when medically appropriate.

Rare but potentially serious complications can occur with intragastric balloon treatment.

Patients must receive clear information about warning signs and when urgent medical assessment is required.

Severe or persistent abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, significant abdominal swelling or unusual symptoms should be medically evaluated.

​

Is Allurion Completely Risk-Free Because It Does Not Require Endoscopy?

No.

Avoiding routine endoscopy does not make Allurion risk-free.

Like other gastric balloon systems, complications are possible.

Rare complications involving balloon passage, obstruction or gastrointestinal injury have been reported.

The treatment should therefore still be carried out with proper patient selection, medical supervision and clear emergency instructions.

​

Is Gastric Balloon Treatment Reversible?

Traditional gastric balloons are temporary and can be removed.

MedSil, Spatz3 and ORBERA365 are removed endoscopically.

Allurion is designed to empty and pass naturally.

Unlike gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery, balloon treatment does not permanently remove or reroute part of the digestive system.

​

Gastric Balloon vs Gastric Sleeve: Which Costs Less?

Gastric balloon treatment generally costs less because it is a temporary, non-surgical treatment and does not involve permanent surgical modification of the stomach.

However, balloon treatment and gastric sleeve surgery are intended for different patients.

A patient who is an appropriate candidate for bariatric surgery should not automatically select a gastric balloon simply because the price is lower.

Treatment should be selected according to medical need, BMI, health risks and long-term goals.

​

Can I Pay Only for the Procedure Without the Hotel?

Treatment arrangements may vary depending on the individual patient's needs.

International patients should contact our team before booking so we can confirm the current package, accommodation arrangements and total treatment price.

Always obtain written confirmation of what is included before travelling.

​

Why Choose Gastric Balloon Turkey in Istanbul?

Patients travelling to Istanbul need more than a balloon device.

They need an organized treatment process.

Our current package brings together:

• Multiple gastric balloon brands

• Transparent published prices

• Medical consultation

• Required pre-treatment assessment

• Procedure

• Sedation when required

• Hotel accommodation

• Airport transfers

• Dietitian support

• Follow-up

• Balloon removal for balloons requiring scheduled removal

• International patient assistance

Most importantly, we offer several different balloon systems instead of trying to make one balloon fit every patient.

This allows the medical team to consider your treatment duration, budget, preferred placement method and individual medical needs.

​

Which Gastric Balloon Should I Choose?

A simple starting point is:

Lowest cost: MedSil

No routine endoscopy or anesthesia: Allurion

Adjustable: Spatz3

Long-duration fixed balloon: ORBERA365

But this comparison is only a starting point.

Your medical history and doctor's assessment should determine the final treatment.
