The gastric balloon procedure is a convenient, non-permanent solution for weight loss, offering simplicity in both its placement and removal.

The placement is typically done using an endoscopy or, in some cases, a capsule you can swallow. In both cases, you are able to return home the same day as the procedure. The balloon remains in your stomach temporarily, promoting weight loss for up to 12 months depending on the type of balloon used. Removal is easy – either through another endoscopy or naturally passing it. It’s a straightforward and effective option for those seeking non-permanent weight loss assistance.

At the BMI Clinic we offer a range of non-surgical, and surgical weight loss solutions. Our non-surgical options include weight loss medications or gastric balloon programs. To be eligible for these options your BMI is recommended to be over 27.
Bariatric surgery is generally recommended for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, particularly for those struggling with long-term weight management despite lifestyle changes. In some cases, patients with a BMI below 30 may be considered if they have obesity-related health conditions. Your eligibility will be assessed during your initial consultation with our specialist team.

When it comes to eating AND drinking post procedure, Dr Sartoretto recommends these three Golden Rules to minimise the risk of symptoms, optimise the chances of weight loss and improve the odds of keeping the weight off.

Small, single portions
When eating, use a small plate (eg a bread plate or a child’s plate) and serve a portion only the size of the palm of your hand.
Use a small cup – no large tumblers.
Do not set your table with food; instead, serve your portion (and anyone else’s) and pack the leftovers away before you eat.
It is OK to leave some leftover food on your plate – pack it away for lunch tomorrow.
Go slow!
Your meal should take no less than 20 minutes to finish – this ensures you chew your food thoroughly and prevents you feeling unwell after you eat.
Sip on your cup of liquid slowly – drinking too quickly will make you feel bloated and uncomfortable.
Wait 30 minutes before you go back for seconds
The brain’s connection with the stomach is delayed – eating too soon after a meal increases the chances of overeating and the chances of developing discomfort.
These rules prevent you from overeating and allow you to get back in touch with your feeling of fullness. If you break them, you are likely to suffer some reflux or cramping, so sooner or later you’ll change your ways!

Let’s compare! One would be considered a quick 'breakfast' on the go and the other could comprise of breakfast, lunch and a snack!

#1 - Banana bread with butter and a full-cream coffee: ~510 kcal, 12 g protein, 2 g fibre.
#2 - Low-carb ricotta toast with banana, a chicken and avo wrap, high-protein yoghurt, and strawberries: ~710 kcal, 63 g protein, 17 g fibre.

Both options can fit into a healthy diet, but the second day packs in over five times the protein and eight times the fibre: helping you stay fuller for longer and support your goals more effectively.

It’s not about restriction; it’s about making smarter swaps that fuel you better.

You’ve probably heard about the 80/20 approach, but what does that actually look like? 🤔

The 80/20 approach is all about balance, not perfection.
It means:
80% of the time, you’re choosing mostly whole, nourishing foods: think fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
20% of the time, you’re enjoying those fun foods that make life enjoyable: dessert, wine, pizza night, whatever you love!

It’s not a “rule,” it’s a framework for a realistic, sustainable lifestyle.
No guilt. No restriction. Just balance.

It’s about focusing on consistency, not perfection, because one meal or snack never defines your diet. It is virtually impossible to make the "right" decisions 100% of the time.

Example:
Breakfast: yoghurt bowl with fruit & nuts
Lunch: chicken and veggie wrap
Afternoon tea: a small snack chocolate
Dinner: salmon, rice & greens

Bottom line:
Fuel your body most of the time, feed your soul the rest 💛
