When his arthritis worsened, he was forced to quit the job, and his weight ballooned up to 17.5 stone. He’d never been so heavy in his life. Like many others, John had tried diet programs such as Weight Watchers, Slimming World, and even Slim Fast, but losing just one stone had taken so much effort. With each attempt, he lost weight but regained it every time.
Discovering the Gastric Balloon Group
As John searched for a weight loss solution on Google, he came across gastric balloons and found the Gastric Balloon Group.
In researching the weight loss tool further, he was attracted to the fact that it didn’t require surgery or hospitalisation and was a quick and simple process. He told his loved ones about his plans; they gave him all the emotional and motivational support he needed. Since the balloon’s insertion, John has done everything he can to ensure he has developed a healthier lifestyle. Using our exclusive GBG App daily meant he could easily track what he ate throughout the day and control his calorie intake. “The app makes life a lot easier.”
He was more than impressed with the Aftercare he received. “The dietitian was excellent and speedy with responses, as well as the patient care coordinators. Couldn’t fault the health care staff; they were great.”
Back in December 2022, John had knee replacement surgery, which unfortunately resulted in him gaining 13lbs back.
Having opted for the Orbera365 balloon, the 12 months have helped him mould and live a healthier lifestyle more efficiently, and he is confident with his newfound knowledge, he can still meet his weight loss goals when he’s healed.
