Gastric Band Turkey - FAQ

The gastric band is made of silicone and hollow. It will be placed around the upper part of the stomach. A pouch is formed in the size of a tennis ball. When the pouch is stretched with food it will signal a feeling of satiety. The gastric band is connected to a small tube with a port system under the skin. With a special needle a fluid can fill the hollow band to regulate the strangulation. More fluid means the more the gastric band will strangulate the rest of the stomach.

Surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and takes 30 to 60 minutes. Your stay in the hospital takes normally 3 to 5 days.

The surgery is performed with the keyhole method with only five 2 centimetres long cuts for camera and instruments. For the port under the skin at the lower end of the sternum it needs a larger cut.

After a month the port will be used the first time to inject a few millimetres of fluid. A contrast medium is injected to make it visible in an X-ray image. This is done to recognize feasible leaks. These injections are normally pain-free.

The gastric band is suitable for patients with a BMI of more than 40 or 35 with additional diabetes, high blood or sleep apnoea, but only when all other non-operative treatments in the last six to twelve months failed.
You can take other medications as usual, only really large tablets should be broken. It’s not advisable to take Aspirin or painkillers in general, this can lead to irritations.
Theoretically yes, but it is normally not wanted, because the removement will lead in most cases to a gain of weight.
With a gastric band the loss of weight is slowly but steadily, when all instructions are followed. Anyway, a fast loss of weight involves health risks. Within the first 12 to 18 months you can lose a kilogram pro month.
With the loss of weight the menstrual cycle will be regulated, and it is possible to get pregnant with less problems. The gastric band can be loosened for a pregnancy and later again tightened again.
All prices are inclusive prices. With Aesthetic Travel you will not incur our extra costs.
