WEIGHT LOSS

Lose 3 to 5 Stones With Heliosphere Air-Filled Gastric Balloon

"Lighter" and safer way to lose weight effectively!

At the National Gastric Balloon Centre & National Obesity Surgery Centre® we know all too well that tackling obesity is not just about controlling how much you eat and how little you excercise - it's more than that. Our team of experts also understand that despite all your efforts to control weight, you have still struggled on. You've probably tried different and varied diet plans including medication but only to regain the weight later.
Obesity has been described as a "national epidemic" by most health experts in the UK. Approximately 49% men and 29% women are clinically overweight (this means they have a BMI of greater than 25). Of these 13% men and 16% women are obese (this group of individuals have a BMI of 30 or greater). A proportion of these have a BMI of more than 35 placing them in the morbid obesity group.

My Weight Loss

The underlying problems and issues faced by patients who are obese affect not only their social lifes put place them at a greater risk from developing many health conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, diabetes and asthma. In women it can cause painful heavy periods, infertility and urinary incontinence.
 
Statistically obesity increases the risk of developing cancers of the breast, uterus, cervix and ovary in woman and prostate in men. Both sexes have increased risk of developing intestinal cancer of the large bowel and rectum. Overall you are likely to die younger if you are overweight.
 
Many of these weight-related problems can go away if a person is able to lose the extra weight and keep it off.
 
Non Surgical Treatment Using The Gold Heliosphere
 
This is why we want to offer treatments that are very effective and a permanent solution to keep off the weight when combined with a good weight loss control programme.
 
We are the only private healthcare organisation to offer the Air Filled Intra-Gastric Balloon. Our technology offers the patient a minimally invasive approach when it comes to losing weight effectively.

One of the key advantages of using a lighter balloon (filled with air) is that there is less chance of it leaking. The Heliosphere air-filled balloon is coated with pure gold on the inside (a fail safe mechanism). This prevents air atoms from escaping through the gold layer. The result is a longer lasting balloon that maintains its capacity to its original volume when inserted.

"It Weighs LESS than 30g! That's why it offers greater levels of tolerance."

No Potent Pre-Drug Therapy Before Implantation

Intensive Drug Therapy

Above all using the Heliosphere we don't need you to take lots of medication 5 days prior to and up to 4 weeks after insertion of the balloon. 
 
The Heliosphere is filled with pure air, about 650cc of air which is then compressed in the balloon to 550cc of air resulting in a total weight of the balloon being less than 30g. Your body tolerates the Heliosphere significantly better and symptoms last for a short period of time (a couple of days). In a very small number of patients this can be slightly longer. Symptoms are also less severe because of the unique way our Heliosphere balloon works; it sits at the top part of your stomach and does not sink down and move around so much.
