Ok, so you have tried all the diets under the sun, counted points, cut out carbs, fasted, loaded up with shakes etc - the list for most people is usually endless.
Maybe you have a special occasion coming up, or even been advised to lose weight for a medical reason and you’re looking for that something new, something different to keep you motivated and help you achieve you weight loss goals.
You might have thought about Bariatric surgery, or even know someone who has got a band or had a bypass, but not quite ready to commit to something on this level yet.
That’s when you may have considered the gastric balloon. A step down from surgery but still a very valuable tool when it comes to weight loss. Not a permanent fixture, but some balloons now can be kept in situ for up to a year, for example the Orbera 365.
Defiantly something to bear thinking about - and hopefully with some additional help regarding healthy eating and lifestyle changes you can work with the balloon.
Read our other balloon article to help you learn more about the gastric balloon.
