How Does A gastric balloon work?
The gastric balloon procedure is a non-surgical solution to help you lose weight* without surgery, pills or diets. It is ideal if you have tried dieting without long term success but you don’t qualify for a surgical procedure or don’t want to resort to a life-changing operation.
Balloon implanted
The saline filled balloon occupies a large area in your stomach which means that there is less available space for food.
Portion control
The balloon work s by restricting the amount of food you eat and giving you a feeling of satisfaction after eating small volumes of food
Healthy Habits
Gradually you will adapt to smaller portion sizes so that when it’s removed you can continue with these new eating habits.
