Gastric Balloons for patients throughout the UK and beyond

We run the NOSC 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. For more information, please see our stomach balloons UK page.

Although based in the North West of England, the National Obesity Surgery Centre has several surgery locations throughout the UK and treats patients world-wide. Due to the nature of the gastric balloon procedure, we can effectively monitor our patients based in any location - including outside the UK. We have extensive experience in providing the NOSC Balloon Programme™ to overseas patients, including our dedicated aftercare and advice service. We receive many enquiries and patients from outside the UK.

If you are making an enquiry regarding gastric balloon insertion and you are from outside of the UK please see our stomach balloons for overseas patients page.
