Both can work. Here's how they actually differ.‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Hi Sarah,

A lot of people who enquire about the gastric balloon have also looked into weight loss medication. Some are on it now. Some came off.

Both can work. We're not going to tell you otherwise.

The 12-month gastric balloon in front of shelves of weight loss medication

The honest difference is this. When you stop the medication, your appetite usually comes back. And the weight often does too.

The gastric balloon programme is built around the opposite idea. The balloon does the physical work for 12 months, and during those months, the programme rewires how you behave and eat.

The balloon is removed. The new habits stay.

One placement for the whole year, instead of 52 weekly doses.

No ongoing prescriptions.

No medication side effects to manage.

If you're weighing this up, it's worth talking through properly before you decide. Just reply and we'll go through it honestly, we won't push you onto one or the other.
