The health of the Nation
As our portions become larger and our way of life more sedentary, we are eating more and exercising less. The natural consequence of this trend is now seen in what many healthcare professionals call the obesity epidemic. It’s a fact that European obesity rates have tripled in the last 20 years which, if nothing is done, will mean that nearly 1 in 5 people will be affected by 2010.

Welcome to the Gastric Balloon System
The Gastric Balloon System is a medically supervised, internationally proven, professional System that will help you take control of your weight — without the risks of surgery or drugs. It does so by helping you to feel full, thus reducing the urge for food, whilst you undertake a weight-loss programme with the help and support of a team of doctors and dieticians. Think of it like stabilisers on a bike, without which, learning to ride can be slow and painful. But with the help of its own ‘training tool’, Gastric Balloon can help you transform your body in a safe and effective manner, improving your health and enhancing your life.
A System with two important parts:
The Intragastric Balloon: The Gastric Balloon is a soft, silicone balloon that is inserted into the stomach and fi lled with sterile saline. The balloon is designed to partially fi ll your stomach, giving you a feeling of fullness. In medical terms this is called satiety. It will not only make you feel less hungry, but feel fuller more quickly after small meals. The balloon will be removed after 6 months. With the help of the Gastric Balloon, you will have a better chance in adopting the lifestyle changes needed to lose weight.

Weight-loss Education: Experienced weight-loss professionals will consult with you and design a programme to help you successfully reach and maintain your weight-loss goals. Your team will be there every step of the way with encouragement and support. Such a team of experts may vary, but could include physicians, dieticians, physiotherapists and even psychologists! During regularly scheduled meetings with your team, you will learn the principles needed to manage your weight and promote long-term health. Some of these include nutrition, exercise, eating behaviours, and psychological issues related to food. While learning, you will be motivated by your success and more easily turn these principles into habits that will serve you the rest of your life. |
