Specialist Bariatric Dietitian Support

All Programmes Include Dietetic Care

A weight loss dietitian is one of the most important things that we offer at Allure. For sustainable weight loss, with either a gastric sleeve or a gastric balloon, food intake should be monitored and a healthy lifestyle established. To help with this, Allure ensure that our registered dietitian support is a part of every aftercare programme.

Our dietitians are  registered,  and work daily with bariatric surgery and gastric balloon patients. They are here to continually monitor your progress and are committed to helping you sustainably lose weight. Considered intrinsic to the success of the Allure Weightloss Programme as a whole, our dietitians will meet with you regularly to offer professional dietetic advice. This comes at no extra cost to our patients, who get to enjoy this service as part of their weight loss procedures with us.

Pre-Procedure Dietetic Session

Prior to your procedure, there will be an initial consultation with our dietitian to discuss and create a personalised programme for you. They will offer dietary advice and identify key areas and eating habits to work on. They will help to prepare you for your procedure day, immediately after, and for the first weeks after procedure before regular sessions to help you get to your ideal body weight.

Post Programme FAQ's

Will My Weight Stay Off?

As long as you practice what you have learnt throughout the programme there is no reason for you to put weight back on. In fact studies show that 95% of weight loss can be sustained at 12 months if lifestyle changes are being maintained.

How Long Does It Take To Return To Normal Activities After Placement?
Most people can return to normal activity within a few days. However, many people do experience nausea, abdominal cramping and, occasionally, vomiting after balloon placement for the first three days. In most cases, your will prescribe commonly used medication to help manage these symptoms as part of the package.
Will I Have Any Dietary Restrictions During or After Your Gastric Balloon Programme?

There are no absolute dietary restrictions with the our Programmes. However, to make the most of the programme and maximise your weight loss and comfort, our dietitian will tailor recommendations for you, your body and your weight-loss goals.

How is the Balloon Removed?
Both the BiB and ORBERA balloons are removed via an Endoscopy under light sedation.
What Happens Then?

Once the balloon has been removed, you will continue to meet your dietitian, and your stomach would have now adjusted to your new eating habits learnt over the course of balloon residence.
