We run the NOSC Stomach Balloon Programme throughout the UK and beyond, so wherever you live, the National Obesity Surgery Centre can provide you with an excellent service, both during and following your gastric balloon procedure.
This will help you get the very best out of your Gastric Balloon – achieving optimum results.
The whole point of our exclusive NOSC Stomach Balloon programme is to use the stomach balloon to help the patients adapt an eating pattern where they are eating:
- The right food
- In the right amounts
- At the right times
- For the right reasons
- For the rest of their lives
In short – a healthy relationship with food. It really is as simple as that!
The Stomach Balloon programme at the NOSC consists of the following:
The NOSC Prep Programme
This is our own unique 4-day preparation programme prior to the insertion of the balloon.
The NOSC Food and Eating Programme
At the National Obesity Surgery Centre we believe that food and eating are distinct elements. Each is awarded equal importance in our programme, making the whole issue of food easier to deal with. It is a process that continues throughout the placement of the balloon and forever afterwards. It is not a fad diet, it is not a liquid diet, it is not a quick fix, it is just a simple, healthy approach to food.
The NOSC Support Programme
At the NOSC we believe that support is essential, irrespective of how you lose weight. With the NOSC 24 hour support system patients are never on their own.
The NOSC Behaviour Modification Programme
CBC (Cognitive Behavioural Coaching) is based on scientific principles which help the patients to understand their issues around food and how these issues affect their feelings, thoughts and behaviour. The focus of the coaching is to enable patients to generate solutions to the problems of yo-yo dieting.
