We recommend a safe non-surgical endoscopic implantation of a gastric balloon which is a key element of a complex obesity treatment programme. In fighting an old problem we offer a new, effective method of conscious weight control of the body. The treatment is aimed at reducing the size of the stomach by means of placing in it for 6 months a balloon filled with air. Thanks to the fact that the patients achieve more quickly the feeling of satiety a controlled and natural return to appropriate weight is possible. This method supports weight loss (approximately a dozen or so kilograms) as part of the obesity treatment programme which consists of recommendations concerning a suitable diet, a healthy lifestyle and aesthetic medicine. Help in retaining proper diet habits allows to eliminate the negative influence of excess weight on the health condition and physical and psychological state of patients.
COURSE OF THE TREATMENT:
- Preliminary consultation with a doctor during which the patient is informed about the possibilities of the method, the course of the treatment, recommendations and contraindications are established and health examinations are contracted.
- Implantation of the balloon – the surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and takes up to 30 minutes. There exists a possibility of staying in the clinic for observation.
- Consultation and control of progresses covers: dietetic consultation, psychological consultation, monthly control visits aimed at evaluating the effects of the treatment.
- Consultation and propositions in the area of aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery aimed at enhancing the results of the therapy and removing the aesthetic side effects of a sudden weight loss.
- Explantation of the balloon – removal of the balloon under anaesthesiological protection, retaining all safety principles.
- Summary – recommendations concerning lifestyle and dietetic principles in the post-implantation period.
THE SAFETY OF THE METHOD:
- the method has been tested during several clinical studies
- the balloon is filled with air, it’s mechanically resistant, thanks to its cover made of gold it’s completely impenetrable, insensitive to gastric juices and prevents the development of bacteria
- the medical staff performing the treatment possesses appropriate, high qualifications.
Warning! In the case of operations carried out for foreign patients require longer (up to 10-14 days) stay in EUROKLINIKA, for safe and complete withdrawal of all actions associated with the ongoing operation.
