Just Some of the National Gastric Balloon Centre Success Stories

At the NGBC, we are always extremely grateful when any of our patients agree that we can tell their stories. Understandably, many do not wish for their photos to be published.

This time last year I weighed 19st 12lbs. I have had a serious chronic foot condition for many years, which has limited my mobility considerably. My weight, combined with my arthritis, meant I could barely walk. I tried to lose weight by eating less and shed a couple of stone. But after the initial weight loss I found it impossible to get any thinner.

Then I saw an advert for The National Gastric Balloon Centre. They implant balloons filled with saline into your stomach and this stops you being able to overeat.

From the start it altered my eating habits. I felt so bloated if I tried to eat too much that I stopped bothering. As the months passed, the weight dropped off. I’ve now lost 5 stone. My eating habits have changed completely and I can walk much better. I can’t recommend it enough. It’s definitely changed my life.
