Gastric balloons are a weight loss tool utilised globally in order to help encourage weight loss by suppressing feelings of hunger. Available in a number of distinct models, we specialise in placing the Orbera 365. Each balloon provides an average weight loss of between 10 and 15 and 10 and 18% respectively. We have gastric balloon clinics across the UK, but for the sake of this particular article we will be focusing on our facilities in the North West of England.
With obesity costing the NHS between £4.2 and £6.1 Billion every year (this figure is expected to rise to 10 billion should no action be taken), it is no wonder more and more people are looking to turn their lives around with medical weight loss procedures. By reducing our weight we can reduce the impact of often life-threatening comorbidities as well as improve our quality of life overall.
The Difference Between Gastric Balloons
The BIB Balloon and Orbera 365 are similar in purpose and different in composition and application. Namely, the BIB Balloon lasts in the stomach for up to 6 months, whereas the Orbera 365 is FDA approved to stay in the stomach for up to 12 months. Both require the steady hand of one of our experienced consultants to place via an endoscopy. Both procedures are non-surgical. There are, naturally, pros and cons to each balloon and a patient advisor will be able to work with you so that you have enough information to make the best decision for you.
Our North West Clinics
Our gastric balloon clinics are based in Liverpool and Manchester (we also have a surgical clinic in Manchester) and they are ran by Dr Bassi, Dr Mason, and Mr Javed Sultan. No matter where you are or who you are tended by, you can rest assured that each of our consultants has been handpicked for their talent, dedication, and experience.
