Non-surgical weight loss in Kenya: The Gastric Balloon journey

This non-surgical path to weight loss, increasingly popular at Nairobi Bariatric Center, is offering Kenyans an alternative way to reclaim their health.

Rooted in local needs yet embracing global advancements, the gastric balloon represents a blend of innovation and accessibility.

Join us as we delve into this groundbreaking procedure and discover why it's capturing the hearts and health aspirations of many Kenyans looking for a transformative lifestyle change.

What is the Gastric Balloon?

Imagine a small, soft silicone balloon, a device so simple yet so transformative. This balloon, when inserted into the stomach, partially fills the space, creating an early sense of fullness.

The result? Reduced appetite and portion control, leading to weight loss. It's a temporary measure, usually remaining in place for about six months, offering a bridge to long-term lifestyle changes.

On average, those who embrace the gastric balloon journey, coupled with a commitment to healthier eating and exercise, can expect to lose approximately 10-15% of their body weight during the six-month period that the balloon is in place.

The Procedure: A Glimpse Inside

The beauty of the gastric balloon lies in its simplicity. The procedure typically involves a simple endoscopy, where the deflated balloon is inserted through the esophagus and then filled with saline.

It's a quick process, often requiring no overnight hospital stay, making it an attractive option for those wary of more invasive surgeries.

Why Choose the Gastric Balloon?

Non-Surgical: For those intimidated by the thought of surgery, the gastric balloon is a sigh of relief. Its non-surgical nature means lower risk and a quicker return to daily life.
Temporary and Reversible: Unlike permanent surgical alterations, the gastric balloon is a temporary measure, offering a chance to adapt to new lifestyle and dietary habits without a lifelong commitment.
Weight Loss Catalyst: It's not just about what the balloon does physically. It's a catalyst for change, sparking a journey towards healthier eating habits and regular exercise.
Education and Support: Centers like Nairobi Bariatric offer comprehensive support, including nutritional counseling and psychological support, making the journey holistic.
