Weight Loss - Gastric Balloon
Most of us have tried dieting, joined a weight
loss group, attempted exercise but more than likely the early
enthusiasm fades and the weight slowly and surely comes back on
with interest.
It is not easy to lose weight on your own and
the team at Cobalt is here to help and support you - we are not
promising a quick and easy fix for your weight problem; there is no
magic wand to simply take the problem away. What we do offer is the
expertise of our team who are experienced in delivering a wide
range of bariatric services, including gastric balloon procedures,
within the North East of England.
The Cobalt Treatment Centre will be one of the
first health care providers in the North East area to offer a
gastric balloon service for private patients. The gastric balloon
procedure is suitable for people with a BMI of 27 plus and involves
a simple endoscopy procedure.
We hold regular free Information Evenings
where our team talk about the gastric balloon programme,
what is expected of you and how our dietitians and psychologists
can help you take control of your weight to achieve your goal.
Our service is Consultant-led, delivered
locally and supported by a team of weight loss
specialists. The gastric balloon programme is designed to kick
start your weight loss and if correctly followed your weight can be
significantly reduced. Typically patients lose between 15-20kg on
average over the 6 month period and evidence shows that patients
also tend to maintain their weight loss over a longer period of
time compared to diet alone.
