Bariatric Surgery and Gastric Balloon Aftercare Packages
We are pleased to provide our patients with comprehensive aftercare as part of their bariatric weight loss surgery or gastric balloon procedure. With every procedure, we offer support from start to finish with our registered Nurses and Dieticians.
We pride ourselves on our outstanding patient care, with your initial call to us, your consultation, your weight loss surgery or procedure, and with your ongoing weight loss journey. Whether you have one of our bariatric surgery procedures, such as gastric bypass surgery or gastric sleeve surgery, or if you have one of our non-surgical gastric balloons, such as the 12-month Orbera or 6-month BiB, we’ll be here to help you achieve long-term success.
Dietetic Care
We offer comprehensive dietetic support with our exceptional team of experienced HCPC registered dietitians. All of our patients get ongoing support with their eating habits and structure and are eligible for a series of one-on-one sessions with our dietitians to help with their weight loss success. Our dietitians will support you on what vitamin and mineral supplements you may need to take after surgery, transitioning to eating solid foods, getting rid of unhealthy eating habits and understanding how to have a healthy diet for the rest of your life.
1–1 Nurse Support
Our nurses provide patients peace of mind both before and after all procedures at our clinics. Allure patients work with our nurses to be prepared for weight loss surgery or gastric balloon placement, in turn, our nurses ensure patients are equipped with the knowledge to have a healthy recovery and continue losing weight long after they leave our care.
Weight Counselling Support
Allure Weightloss patients are able to arrange for optional extra support of our Weight Counselling expert, Dr Mark Bruce. We recognise that struggles with weight can be multi-faceted and can require addressing beyond weight loss tools, surgeries, and dietary guidance.
Aftercare Resources
We are here to support your weight loss journey with a myriad of resources. Not only will you receive access to our nurses and dietitians, but we also have a dedicated hub of resources on our website to help you with your recovery. With tools to help you maintain your new body weight after rapid weight loss, understanding the importance of body mass index and how to not eat too much food after your surgery or procedure. We also have recipes, exercise plans, and how to set up a new daily routine in the first few weeks after surgery to help support your weight loss goals.

Medical Weight Loss with Allure
We offer several specialised medical weight loss programmes, including gastric balloon placements, as well as gastric sleeve and gastric bypass bariatric surgeries. Learn more about each procedure below, or get in touch with a member of our team to discuss everything from your quote, to eligibility, to getting booked in.
Obera 365
The Orbera 365 up to 12 month gastric balloon is a weight loss balloon that stays in your stomach for up to 12 months, where it suppresses your hunger and leaves you feeling fuller for longer in order to help you lose weight.
Gastric Sleeve
Typically performed as a laparoscopic surgery, a gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy) removes around 80% of the stomach to create a tube or sleeve-like structure in order to reduce the amount you can eat and thus lose weight.
Gastric Bypass
A roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery creates a new structure out of the existing stomach to create a small pouch. It bypasses a portion of the stomach to reduce the amount of food you can eat at once to help you lose weight.

Post Programme FAQ's
As long as you practice what you have learnt throughout the programme there is no reason for you to put weight back on. In fact studies show that 95% of weight loss can be sustained at 12 months if lifestyle changes are being maintained.
Most people can return to normal activity within a few days. However, many people do experience nausea, abdominal cramping and, occasionally, vomiting after balloon placement for the first three days.
In most cases, your consultant surgeon will prescribe commonly used medication to help manage these symptoms as part of the package.
