Endoscopic Methods
Body mass index of 27-32 kg / m2 are methods that can be effective in losing weight. They are made by sending a camera from mouth to stomach. They are simple procedures that do not require general anesthesia. These methods may be effective in short-term weight loss. The person needs full compliance and proper diet practice.
Travel, your stay and aftercare
How long do I need to stay in Turkey after the procedure?
Plan for 1 day in Antalya for this procedure. Of that, 3 -4 hours is the hospital stay; for the rest you are at your hotel, with check-ups in between. A final check-up takes place before you fly home — you are only cleared to travel after it. Combined procedures can require a longer stay.
When can I fly after surgery?
You are cleared to fly home only after your final check-up — for this procedure typically after 1 day. Do not fly earlier, even if you feel fine: your doctor decides based on wound healing and your individual thrombosis risk. You are given guidance for the flight (moving about, fluids, and thrombosis prophylaxis or compression stockings where indicated).
When can I go back to work and exercise?
For a mainly desk-based job, expect around 1 day. Physically demanding work, sport, sauna and swimming take considerably longer and are cleared individually at your check-up. Going back to full activity too early is one of the most common reasons for a poorer result.
What happens if I have a complication after returning home?
Contact your coordinator straight away — the same person who looked after you in Antalya, by WhatsApp or phone. Send photos of the area; the assessment is made together with the doctor who operated on you. We then work out whether it can be treated where you live — we provide your surgical records and medical reports for that — or whether coming back to Antalya makes sense. For acute symptoms such as severe pain, fever, breathlessness or sudden swelling, go to your nearest emergency department first and tell us afterwards.

Frequently asked questions about Endoscopic Methods
Stomach Balloon
It is a method used for short-term weight loss. Endoscopic balloon delivery from the mouth to the stomach is intended to inflate the stomach and limit food intake. This method has low ability to achieve permanent weight loss. After the balloon is removed from the stomach within 3-8 months, yoyo effect and weight gain are frequently seen as a result of stomach enlargement. . The gastric balloon is suitable for use as an initial procedure before the surgical procedure that provides a definitive solution.
Gastric Botox
The aim of the stomach botox is to limit the movement of the stomach by injecting botulnium toxin and to delay the emptying of the stomach. In this way, the ejaculation rate of the stomach is delayed so that the person feels less hunger. Stomach botox alone is not a weight loss method. It must be applied together with a diet. Studies on gastric botox have shown placebo effect.
