Many people across the United Arab Emirates, and indeed the world, struggle with the proper and healthy regulation of their weight. Everyone needs a little support at one point or another, and it is no shame to ask for it. We are, after all, only human. The medical weight loss specialists at Allure are gastric balloon experts in the UAE including Dubai. Along with professional care from a dietitian, the gastric balloon is a temporary weight loss tool that (depending on device) helps people lose between 10 – 17% of their total body weight!
How does this work? Well, the gastric balloon takes up around 60% of your stomach and represses the release of ghrelin, the hunger hormone. Along with feeling fuller for longer, patients also work with our registered Dietitian in order to make lifestyle changes that will support them in the long term. 50% of a patient’s total weight loss typically occurs within the first month.
It is important to recognise that these balloons are non-surgical and non-permanent. These temporary weight loss devices are important for this reason.
Gastric Balloon Clincs Dubai
Allure Weightloss run 3 (and counting) gastric balloon clinics across the UAE. From Dr Balaji in Dubai to Dr Al-Hadad in Abu Dhabi, we are able to provide the highest quality service available to all of our patients. At Allure we always put your health and safety first, ensuring that you are 100% eligible and suitable for the balloon before anything is booked in.
Our Celebrated Aftercare
As touched on, patients through Allure are privy to access our registered Dietitian. Each patient is allocated 6 sessions and more can be provided on request. Alongside our dietitian, patients are also supported by a Bariatric Nurse as standard. A weight counsellor is also available upon request, at an extra cost.
