Ditch the calorie counting, just check your boundaries! Save 10% online.
To work efficiently, your body needs the energy that comes from food.
When you eat the same amount of food that your body needs, your weight stays the same. If you get more energy from your food than you need, some is left over. Your body stores that extra energy as fatty tissue and if your body never uses the extra fat, you will gain weight.
Causes of Obesity
There are many things that can lead to obesity and morbid obesity, including:
-
Metabolic disorders - changes in metabolism may affect your energy balance and your weight
-
Genetic factors - if others in your family are obese, then you have a higher risk of obesity
-
Bad eating habits - unbalanced diet and/or snacking between meals
-
Psychological factors - social or emotional eating is one of the main causes of weight-gain

Gastric Band
This is our most popular procedure. The Gastric Band is an inflatable silicone plastic ring that is placed around the upper part of the stomach to control the amount of food that passes into the digestive tract and enables you to feel full sooner and for longer.
It is adjustable and reversible. Read more details on our Gastric Band page.
Gastric Bypass
There are several varieties of bypass, but all involve the creation of a small stomach pouch to restrict food intake and bypasses of the duodenum and other segments of the small intestine to reduce the absorption of calories and nutrients from food.
More on our Gastric Bypass page
Gastric Balloon Programme
The Balloon is a soft, silicone sack that is inserted into the stomach and filled with sterile saline. With the balloon in place, you will have a feeling of fullness and reduced hunger, which will help you to kick-start your weight loss. The balloon stays in place for just 6 months to help you to adopt the diet and lifestyle changes needed to continue the weightloss.
