Swallowable Elipse Gastric Balloon: A Simple Weight Loss Solution
What Is a Swallowable Elipse Gastric Balloon?
The swallowable Elipse gastric balloon is one of the easiest weight loss methods available. It has a very low complication rate and is simple to apply. There’s no need for endoscopy, surgical procedures, or anesthesia. A 3-night trip to Istanbul, Turkey, is planned for the swallowable Elipse gastric balloon procedure.
The Elipse gastric balloon is enclosed inside a small capsule. The process begins with swallowing this capsule, assisted by water or soda. After swallowing the Elipse capsule, the doctor checks your stomach X-ray to confirm that the capsule has settled in the stomach. Once verified, the second stage begins.
Stage Two: Inflating the Capsule
In the second stage, the capsule you swallowed is inflated. Fluid is delivered to the balloon in your stomach through a very thin cord attached to the Elipse capsule. The balloon inflation is completed within approximately one to two minutes. After the balloon is inflated, the doctor checks your X-ray again to verify the position of the balloon.
Stage Three: Completion
In the third stage of the swallowable Elipse gastric balloon procedure, the thin cord attached to the Elipse balloon is pulled out. The procedure is now complete. The entire application time of the swallowable Elipse gastric balloon is approximately 20 minutes.
Difference Between Gastric Balloon and Elipse Balloon
There are differences between the gastric balloon and the Elipse balloon in terms of application and comfort.
Gastric Balloon
- Anesthesia Required: Performed under anesthesia; the patient is sedated using anesthetic drugs.
- Endoscopic Placement: Placed using an endoscopic method, where a special camera and tool are inserted through your throat into your stomach.
- Removal Needed: Needs to be removed after 6 or 12 months.
- Longer Duration: Since it remains in your stomach longer, the weight loss rate may be higher.
- Cost-Effective: Generally less expensive than the Elipse gastric balloon.
Elipse Balloon
- No Anesthesia: No anesthesia required; only a capsule is swallowed.
- Non-Endoscopic: No need for endoscopy or surgical intervention.
- Self-Excretion: Deflates on its own after approximately 4 months and is excreted naturally.
- Weight Loss Period: Weight loss occurs during the 4 months it stays in your stomach.
- Lower Complication Rate: Has a lower complication rate compared to the classic gastric balloon.
- Higher Cost: More expensive than the classic gastric balloon.
Both procedures result in weight loss. The main differences arise from patient comfort, duration, and cost.
