What is a Transaction?

Nutrition after gastric balloon and gastric botox is a process that allows patients to restructure their eating habits in a healthy way after these minimally invasive weight loss methods. These procedures aim to increase the feeling of fullness and reduce appetite by reducing stomach volume or applying botox to the stomach muscles.

How is it done?

In our clinic in Çiğli, Izmir, the nutritional needs of patients after gastric balloon and botox procedures are evaluated in detail. After gastric balloon, patients start with a liquid diet during the first week and gradually transition to pureed foods and soft solid foods. After gastric botox, special nutrition plans are prepared to relax the stomach muscles and optimize the effect of botox. These plans ensure that patients receive the necessary nutrients while supporting the weight loss process.

What are the Symptoms?

Common symptoms after gastric balloon and gastric botox:

• Rapid Feeling of Fullness: An early feeling of satiety may be experienced due to a reduction in the volume of the stomach or relaxation of the muscles.
• Decreased Appetite: Appetite is expected to decrease due to the effect of the procedure.
• Changes in the digestive system: Especially in the first weeks, the digestive system may experience a period of adaptation.
• Reduced Feeling of Extreme Hunger: With the shrinkage of the stomach volume, there is a decrease in the desire to eat.
• Accelerated Weight Loss: The process of weight loss can be accelerated by the effect of diet and stomach operation.
