About the clinic

Gastric balloon placement is a non-surgical weight loss procedure available at Lokman Hekim Akay Hospital. This temporary treatment helps patients lose weight by reducing stomach capacity. The balloon remains in place for several months before being removed.

The gastric balloon procedure involves inserting a soft silicone balloon into the stomach through the mouth. It is inflated with saline solution to occupy space in the stomach. This creates a feeling of fullness with smaller food portions.

The procedure typically takes about 20-30 minutes and doesn't require general anesthesia. Patients usually go home the same day. The balloon stays in place for 6 months on average before removal.

This treatment is suitable for adults with BMI between 27-40 who haven't succeeded with diet and exercise alone. It serves as a temporary aid for weight loss while patients adopt healthier eating habits.

Interested patients can contact Lokman Hekim Akay Hospital for more details about this weight loss option.

My first birth experience with Lokman Hekim Akay Hastanesi, was a wonderful experience filled with joyful memories. The team of their doctors, nurses and translators are wonderful. My heartfelt wishes to Dr Könül Mursel and our translator, Jamila Abdillah, who were pillars of support during our experience. I wish them many more years of beneficial service to humanity. Safiya Zaki.

It was a very encouraging and wonderful experience with Lokman Hekim. The hospital has a team of professional doctors, who treated really well. Especially mentioning about the concern and unprecedented support by their interpretor Miss Jamila. Really appreciated and hats off to her hardworking and helping attitude. Thank you again

To be honest, I am a foreigner and after reading negative reviews about the hospital, I was hesitant to go. After deciding to try, I can now say my true opinion about it. The staff are more than welcoming and doctors are professional and well-equipped in their clinics. The entry fee to see a doctor is 250TL apart from analysis and medications prescribed. I liked it because, you can have an appointment within an hour or two at your arrival as well as avoiding all the hassle and lengthy waits in the public hospitals not to mention the attitude you get there. You can have a translator if you need for free in yhe hospital unless you speak English as doctors are English language literates. One more thing, the hospital prices are costly but affordable if you want to get treated quickly and professionally.
