​

What Is the MedSil Gastric Balloon?

MedSil is a saline-filled intragastric balloon made from medical-grade silicone.

The manufacturer designs the balloon to remain in the stomach temporarily for a maximum period of six months.

The device is placed using endoscopy and later removed endoscopically.

It works by occupying space in the stomach so that the patient may feel full after consuming less food.

​

How Is MedSil Placed?

MedSil placement is performed endoscopically under sedation.

The doctor first examines the stomach and then positions the deflated balloon.

Once correctly positioned, the balloon is filled with sterile saline.

The procedure itself is relatively short, although preparation and post-sedation monitoring increase the total amount of time spent at the medical facility.

​

How Long Does MedSil Stay in the Stomach?

MedSil is designed for a maximum treatment duration of six months.

It must be removed after the treatment period.

The balloon should not remain in the stomach beyond the recommended duration simply because the patient wishes to continue losing weight.

Any additional treatment should be discussed separately with the doctor.

​

How Is MedSil Removed?

MedSil requires an endoscopic removal procedure.

The fluid is removed from the balloon, after which the deflated balloon is retrieved through the mouth.

Sedation is generally used.

Scheduled balloon removal is included in our current MedSil package.

​

How Much Weight Can You Lose With MedSil?

There is no guaranteed number of kilograms that a patient will lose.

Gastric balloon results depend on factors such as:

• Starting weight

• BMI

• Diet

• Portion sizes

• Physical activity

• Metabolic health

• Medical conditions

• Compliance with the nutritional program

The purpose of MedSil is to support portion control during a period when the patient is actively changing eating and lifestyle habits.

​

Who May Be Suitable for MedSil?

MedSil may be considered for patients who:

• Need assistance with weight loss

• Have struggled with diet alone

• Want to avoid weight loss surgery

• Prefer a temporary six-month program

• Are comfortable with endoscopic placement and removal

• Want a more affordable gastric balloon option

• Are prepared to follow nutritional recommendations

Final eligibility depends on medical assessment.

​

What Are the Side Effects?

The stomach needs time to adapt after any intragastric balloon is placed.

Common temporary symptoms may include:

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Stomach cramps

• Reflux

• Abdominal discomfort

• Reduced appetite

The severity and duration vary from person to person.

Patients should contact the medical team if symptoms are severe, persistent or unusual.

​

MedSil vs Allurion

The two treatments are very different.

MedSil

• 6-month treatment

• Endoscopic placement

• Sedation required

• Endoscopic removal

• Lower package price

Allurion

• Approximately 4-month treatment

• Swallowed as a capsule

• Routine endoscopy normally not required

• Routine anesthesia normally not required

• Designed to pass naturally

Patients primarily concerned about convenience may prefer Allurion.

Patients prioritizing price or a traditional six-month balloon may prefer MedSil.

​

MedSil vs Orbera

Both are traditional fluid-filled intragastric balloons placed by endoscopy.

The primary differences are brand, device design, treatment duration and price.

MedSil is designed for six months.

ORBERA365 offers a longer treatment period of up to 12 months.

For someone wanting a shorter and more economical treatment, MedSil may be appropriate.

For someone wanting a longer treatment period, ORBERA365 may be more suitable.

​

MedSil vs Spatz

Spatz is adjustable and can offer a significantly longer treatment period.

MedSil is non-adjustable and designed for six months.

Spatz therefore provides more flexibility, but MedSil has a lower treatment cost and a simpler program.

​

Diet After MedSil Placement

The nutritional program is an essential part of treatment.

Patients initially progress through an adaptation diet before gradually moving toward regular healthy foods.

During the six-month treatment period, patients should focus on developing habits that remain after balloon removal.

These include:

• Smaller meals

• Better food quality

• Adequate protein

• Drinking enough water

• Avoiding unnecessary liquid calories

• Regular physical activity when medically approved

​

Why Choose MedSil in Istanbul?

MedSil provides a relatively affordable way for international patients to access a traditional intragastric balloon program in Turkey.

Our package combines the medical procedure with accommodation, transfers, dietitian support and follow-up assistance.
