Launceston, United Kingdom, January 13, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Cosmetic Bliss, the U.K. Weight Loss Surgery specialists have announced that they are now able to offer patients the Heliosphere Air-Filled Intragastric Balloon weight loss programme at their partner hospital Nemocnice Breclav in the Czech Republic.
The procedure, which is performed by an endoscopic specialist (no surgical incisions required) is a very useful addition to the range of Bariatric procedures (Gastric Banding & Sleeve Gastrectomy) the company provides. All weight loss patients are under the care of Dr Michal Cierny PhD – the renowned Bariatric Surgeon who performs all Cosmetic Bliss Obesity surgery, but this procedure will be carried out by Dr Martin Kriz, the Hospital’s Chief Surgeon and specialist endoscopist, and Dr Otto Riebel, the senior endoscopist.
Michael Dermody, Cosmetic Bliss Director stated:
“The Gastric Balloon, which is put into the stomach for 6 months and allows patients to eat much less, thereby reducing food volume and calorie intake, is a very useful and proven medical Weight Loss procedure. It is ideal for those patients who are either just that bit too small for surgery such as a Lap Band or a Sleeve Gastrectomy, but still find it impossible to sustain weight loss by other methods. Also it can be useful if a patient has a medical condition which would not allow them to have surgery, or if their BMI is so high that surgery would be unsafe without first losing some weight.
“We offered the saline filled BIB Balloon to patients for several years, but found that it was hard for some of them to tolerate it inside their stomachs. It took a lot to get used to – weighing more than half a Kilo when inflated! This new air-filled balloon, being double skinned and coated with pure gold on the inside (to prevent air molecules from escaping and causing the balloon to deflate) is more expensive, but because it weighs only 30g, patients find it much easier to get used to.
“We tell everyone who comes to us for weight loss that No procedure is a magic wand, and if they are to be successful they must change their diet and eating habits. The real secret is taking full advantage of the support we offer before and after the procedure. This is especially the case with the Balloon. It comes out after 6 months, and our patients must use the time it is inside to re-educate themselves and keep up the eating habits, portion control and increased exercise activity they have learnt. That’s why we have an extended 2 year support programme with nutrition, diet exercise and behaviour modification advice for Balloon patients – this is absolutely vital to make sure they get the most from it.”
