Gastric balloon surgery, also known as an intragastric balloon, is a weight loss procedure that procedure involves placing a silicone balloon in the stomach, where it is inflated, making the patient feel full with less food. It's a non-surgical approach that has gained popularity among international patients seeking weight-loss options. Thailand is a top destination for this treatment, thanks to its expert medical professionals, state-of-the-art facilities, and affordable pricing.
Please note that the prices provided are estimations and may vary based on various factors. Additionally, these prices do not include flights or accommodation.

The gastric balloon procedure in Thailand is conducted by experienced and certified professionals in world-class hospitals equipped with modern technology. The treatment involves placing a silicone balloon into the patient's stomach through the esophagus using an endoscope.
Once the balloon is positioned correctly, it is inflated with a saline solution, reducing the stomach's available space for food and aiding in weight loss. The procedure is temporary and typically lasts for about six months, during which the patient is encouraged to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
To prepare for a gastric balloon in Thailand, patients should consult with a qualified bariatric surgeon to determine if they are eligible for the procedure. The surgeon will review the patient's medical history, conduct a physical examination, and perform various tests. The patient's weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), and overall health are considered to assess their suitability for the treatment.
Once deemed suitable, you'll be guided through the pre-operative instructions, which typically involve dietary adjustments, fasting, and medication management. It's crucial to follow these guidelines closely to minimize risks during surgery.
The day before the surgery, you will need to adhere to the fasting protocol and prepare for the hospital stay.
Thailand's reputation for combining medical procedures with a vacation-like atmosphere has given rise to the concept of 'surgery-cations', where patients can enjoy a holistic recovery experience.
The gastric balloon procedure is an outpatient treatment that usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour. The patient is sedated, and an endoscope is used to place and inflate the balloon in the stomach. After the procedure, patients can expect to go home on the same day.
Recovery time is minimal, with most people returning to their normal activities within a few days. Patients are advised to follow a liquid diet for a few days after the procedure and gradually transition to solid foods. Regular follow-up visits are essential to monitor the patient's progress and ensure successful weight loss.
The cost of a gastric balloon in Thailand typically ranges from $3,000 to $4,500, which includes any necessary overnight hospital stays for the procedure.
The expenses associated with gastric balloon surgery can vary based on several factors, including the choice of hospital, the surgeon's expertise, and the length of stay in Thailand. Generally, the costs include the surgery itself, pre-operative tests, hospital stay, and aftercare. It's important to note that these prices are often significantly lower than in many Western countries, without compromising on quality.

"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
I made the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand due to the high prices in Australia, Unsure about choosing the right hospital and doctors in Thailand, my friend suggested Konkai Medical Tourism Agency, they guided me through everything and their professional team, with strong medical connections in Thailand, made the process smooth.The surgery went well, and I’m very happy with the results.I highly recommend Konkai to anyone considering to come to Thailand for medical treatment 👍
"Konkai helped me with what was becoming a confusing process. After contacting Konkai they quickly found a doctor that specialized in the procedure I requested and helped set up an appointment during my trip to Thailand. I will definitely contact them again if the need arises."
"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.
They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.
Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."
"Thanks for your help things went very smoothly. Your help is essential for easing my anxiety before my trip. Excellent job."
"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
"The customer care at Konkai Health has been great. I was looking at treatment options for my back. They got back to me fast and gave me options to connect with some top doctors and surgeons in Thailand. The doctors assessed my condition, did a video call, and gave me recommendations to fix it. Thank you. I recommend them for anyone interested in medical tourism to Thailand."
"I will say you made it so easy to get everything scheduled. I expected it to take much longer trying to find doctors waiting on responses etc. I was happy with the doctor just going ahead and getting it done on the same day as the first procedure. Everything went well and all the nurses were great. Thanks!"
"Konkai Health's service has truly been outstanding. From providing directions to the hospital, hotel recommendations in there, or simply checking up on how everything has gone. I fully recommend them to anyone wanting to see a doctor in Thailand."
I would like to share my very good experience with konkai.health as I was searching for a clinic for my cataract surgery. Khun Pam Van Wissen organised me in no time all appointments at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok which has distinguished itself through excellent service. I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.
I am very happy with the results. I cannot thank the people at Asia Cosmetic Hospital enough for their help and service while I was in the hospital and my stay at the hotel. I feel fine with very little if any pain and I am bringing my strength back up to before surgery. I know it will take many months for everything to heal but right now I feel strong both physical and mentally.
Thank you Konkai for all the work on your part to bring this all together for me. You don’t know what this means to me.
"Everything went really well the staff were kind and helpful my experience there was very good experience"
