Asklepion / Your problems / Overeating
Overeating, obesity
Overeating is the cause of obesity and a plague of our times. Many people have not got the discipline and the normal feeling of hunger to resist eating untill their already big stomach is completely full. With this habit and their increasing weight they face problems of diabetes, heart disease and premature aging.
Therapy with a „baloon”
The miraculous treatment offered for this problem in Asklepion is the „introduction of a small balloon into the stomach”. There are many other ways how to reduce the volume of stomach. Unfortunately these surgical procedures are irreversible and are associated with subsequent scarring. On the contrary the stomach balloon is introduced via the gullet, filled with fluid without any anaesthetic and after six months it is removed without any side effects to patients.
The volume of stomach is markedly reduced, the patient looses appetite, and this leads to the loss of 20–40kg of weight. It is of course important that there is full patient’s compliance after the treatment, otherwise the whole procedure is just a waste of time. The therapy does not require hospitalization, the only inconvenience is the slight discomfort of the stomach adjusting to the balloon during the first three days.
Continuous control
After this sudden loss of weight it is important to stay under supervision, in contact with the doctor at least in monthly intervals. We offer in Asklepion also the service of daily communication of the specialist and patients via the Internet or SMS/text.
Plastic surgery, cosmetic regimes
After marked loss of weight it is necessary to use plastic surgery in places where the skin cannot return to normal shape. After these procedures there are specific therapies with cosmetic instruments such as Dermosonic or Aerosonic which return the tone and muscles to better condition.
