The 12 Month Adjustable Gastric Balloon: A Year to Transform at Your Pace

For many, creating lasting change and reshaping lifelong habits takes time. A few months can feel like a great start, but sometimes you need a longer period of consistent support to truly solidify your new lifestyle without the pressure of a short deadline. The 12 Month Adjustable Gastric Balloon is the most advanced, long-term, non-surgical tool available, designed to guide you through a full year of transformation.

Imagine the Change: A Foundation for Life

Imagine having a full year of gentle, consistent support on your weight loss journey. Picture yourself, one year from now, not only having lost significant weight but having built the strong, healthy routines and habits that will keep it off for good. This program is about deep, sustainable change, empowering you to transform your health at a pace that feels right for you.

The Solution – What is the 12 Month Adjustable Gastric Balloon?

This is the only gastric balloon in the world that is approved for a full year and is adjustable. Like other balloons, it is a soft, medical-grade balloon placed into your stomach endoscopically under mild sedation. Once in place, it is filled with sterile saline, which reduces your stomach's capacity and helps you feel full and satisfied with less food.

What makes this balloon unique is its adjustability. During the 12-month treatment period, the volume of the balloon can be easily increased or decreased via a simple endoscopic procedure. This allows us to customize the treatment to your body's response, ensuring continuous and comfortable weight loss. After up to 12 months, the balloon is removed using the same simple method.

Why Choose This Procedure?

• Longer Treatment Time: A full year gives you the time needed to overcome challenges, celebrate successes, and truly master a new, healthier way of living.

• Customisable and Adjustable Volume: If your weight loss plateaus or your appetite changes, we can adjust the balloon's volume to reinvigorate your progress and maintain comfort. This feature significantly increases the total potential weight loss.

• Higher Potential Weight Loss: Due to its longer duration and adjustability, patients typically achieve a higher average weight loss of 15% to 30% of their total body weight.

• Fully Reversible: At the end of the treatment, the balloon is removed, leaving no permanent changes to your body.
