Liv Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey offers gastric balloon procedures starting from $2,400 USD for a 6-month balloon. The clinic specializes in weight loss treatments for patients with BMI under 35. Prof. Dr. Halil Coskun, an obesity surgery specialist, leads the treatment program.
The gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight loss option. A soft balloon is placed in your stomach through endoscopy. It helps you feel full faster and eat less. The procedure takes about 30 minutes.
Liv Hospital offers two gastric balloon programs. The 6-month balloon costs $2,400-$2,700 USD. The 12-month balloon costs $3,400-$4,100 USD. Balloon removal costs an additional $1,400 USD.
The prices include one day of hospitalization. You will be discharged the same day. No overnight stay is needed for the procedure.
Before treatment, you need several tests. Endoscopy costs $1,000 USD. Blood tests cost $700 USD. COVID-19 screening costs $80-$200 USD. A chest specialist consultation is required before any procedure.
The clinic provides free services for international patients. These include airport transfers, 24/7 translator support, and English medical reports. Hotel arrangements are available near the hospital.
Prof. Dr. Halil Coskun specializes in obesity surgery. He has extensive experience with gastric balloon procedures. Dr. Koray Karabulut and Prof. Dr. Deniz Duman also consult on cases. The team reviews each patient individually.
The clinic follows a strict policy. Bariatric surgery is not performed for patients with BMI under 35. The gastric balloon is offered as the best alternative for these patients.
