Intragastric Balloon
The Intragastric Balloon is a non-surgical,
non-pharmaceutical aid in the treatment of obesity. In
conjunction with a supervised diet and behavior
modification program, it can help you achieve the health
and aesthetic benefits associated with weight loss.

Gastric Band
If you have tried diets, cures, tablets
or medicines and they haven't helped you lose and
maintain a healthy weight, one option may be an
operation to artificially reduce the amount your stomach
can hold and decrease your appetite. A new surgical
method which does this uses the Gastric BAND System.

Gastric Bypass
The stomach is
completely divided with a stapler to leave a pouch that
initially measures only 30mls. The small bowel is
divided and the divided end brought up and joined to the
small stomach pouch. Other small bowel end is joined
back on to the small bowel about a metre down from the
stomach.
