In the first of a series, we're looking at all types of
weight loss surgery. The first is the
Gastric Balloon. Sounds odd doesn't it?
Before we show you how it works, here's the science. When your stomach starts to get full with
food or drink, it sends messages to the brain to STOP EATING!
This doesn't always work, but for most people
it does. So the boffins thought, why
don't we partially fill the stomach with something else, so that people feel
fuller sooner?
And so the gastric balloon was born.
There are a number of different types and the newest kid on
the block, Obalon, is almost as simple as swallowing a pill. They all work the same way though.
The great thing about gastric balloons is that it's all done
through your mouth, so there is no real surgery (and no scarring either). You can probably expect between 5-15% weight
loss, which is quite a lot. So if you
weigh 200lb, you may lose as much as 30lb (or 14 stone to 12 stone, or 90kg to 85kg).
What are the side effects?
The only main problem that some people get is feeling a
little nauseous for a few days. That's
it really.
How much does it cost?
Great question and the answer is simple, it's a lot less
expensive and more effective than many diets and slimming plans out there. A standard balloon costs from £3,995 and
remember, you could lose up to 15% of your weight. If you want the newest balloon, Obalon, we
can give you a quote straight away, just give us a call.

surgery.

ReplyDeleteBased on what i've read on placidway site, A major benefit to the gastric balloon is the ability to undergo a weight loss procedure without surgery. It takes 20-30 minutes, and is virtually pain free with little side effects. Patients lose a substantial amount of weight, in addition to consuming smaller portion sizes and learning to eat healthier food choices. Anyone suffering from obesity may benefit from this procedure, as it functions much the same way as gastric banding, though without major surgery.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are a lot of good points to the balloon. We do need to remember that it can make you fairly nauseous in the first few days and requires strong anti-sickness medications for that period and often anti-reflux pills whilst in place. Weight loss in trials has been about 10 to 15%, which has good health effects. All weight-loss procedures have different modes of action. As with all temporary procedures, to maintain weight loss after band removal requires permanent changes to lifestyle, diet and activity, which, as we all know, is a challenge...!
