The gastric balloon could be for you if you need more than a diet to lose weight but prefer to avoid surgery

• Non-surgical day case procedure to kick start weight loss

• Unrivalled aftercare service with all the medical, nutritional and personal support you need following your procedure, including support groups, 24 hour emergency helpline, nutritional advice and support to help you achieve your weight loss goals

• FREE behavioural programme to work with your balloon for successful weight loss and most importantly to give you life skills to continue with this weight loss or maintain your weight when the balloon is removed

• What does it involve? There are several types of gastric balloon available.  At Healthier Weight we use the most thoroughly researched and tested device - the BioEnterics Intragastric Balloon (BIB™).  In what follows, we use the terms gastric balloon and BIB™ interchangeably. 
• Benefits of a Gastric Balloon The health benefits of the BIB™ are those associated with any method of weight loss, including an improvement in diabetes, hypertension (raised blood pressure) and sleep apnoea.  There are also major improvements in mobility and self-esteem. 
• What are the risks? The procedure itself is simple, and serious complications are uncommon.  Read about any reported complications in the scientific literature
• Is the Gastric Balloon suitable for me? If you have tried every diet and weight-loss programme without success, but would rather avoid conventional surgery, the gastric balloon may be the option for you.
• Our aftercare package. Even though a gastric balloon is not a surgical procedure, you do need to be very careful in the first couple of weeks following balloon insertion.
