Intra-gastric balloon
Intra-gastric balloons can be a good choice for patients at lower weights who want to avoid the risks of an operation. They are a non-surgical weight loss treatment, which involves placing a small balloon inside the stomach. The balloon makes you feel full quicker and reduces your portion size.
- No operation required
- No anaesthetic required
- Day case procedure
Mr Cockbain offers both the Allurion balloon and the Orbera 365 balloon, supported by a range of follow-up packages to suit your needs.
