Nucleus Healthcare has had unprecedented success with the gastric balloon programme. Patients have had remarkable results, losing between 4 and 18 lbs during their first week, with continuing steady weight loss during the 6 month period the balloon is in place.

Our gastric balloon programme combines a team of medical experts and a scientifically proven method to reduce hunger and help patients successfully lose weight.

Ongoing support and education is provided throughout and beyond the 6 month programme.

The procedure involves inserting a deflated silicone balloon through an endoscope into the stomach which is then inflated with 500–700 mls of sterile saline. The technique is simple and takes between 15 and 20 minutes, the patient can return home within 2 hours.

The balloon remains in place for 6 months then is easily removed through the mouth.

The beauty of the gastric balloon is that the weight of the saline triggers receptors in the brain to say the stomach is full, taking away the desire to overeat and allowing patients to make the right choices with their diet.

During this 6 month period the patient learns new principles for healthy living with long term results.
