Kick-start your weight loss journey at Clique Clinic

Malaysia is Asia’s fattest country with approximately half of the population overweight or obese.The prevalence of overweigjt and obesity had increased 80.7% and 302% respectively in just under two decades (NHMS 2015).

Weight management is not as simple as we think. Every year you try to eat less and less, but gain more and more. Sure, some of this has to do with the medical condition and biology of ageing, but most of the time weight gain is caused by unhealthy diet and exercising habits which can be improved with the help of character building. Nonetheless, some people may find it very difficult. In such a case you may benefit from The ElipseGastric Balloon.

What’s Elipse Gastric Balloon?

This special balloon induces weight loss by increasing satiety (fullness), delaying gastric emptying and reducing the amount of food eaten at each time. It provides a “honeymoon from hunger”.

How it works?

The Elipse Balloon comes in the form of a capsule. Without the need of anesthesia and endoscopy, you would be asked to swallow the capsule as you would a large tablet.  Once it has been swallowed, the doctor ensures it is in place using X-ray and fills the balloon with saline via the catheter. The Elipse Gastric Balloon is sealed with a valve once the catheter is withdrawn.

How long would this programme last?
The Elipse
Balloon stays in your stomach for 4 months. After that, the acidic saline inside the balloon degrades the valve, allowing the saline to leak out harmlessly. The deflated balloon is then naturally excreted from the body.
During these 4-month journey, we tailor the programme to help you achieve the best results that suits your lifestyle, budget and weight loss target.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

After approximately 4 months, you may expect to lose an average of 10 to 15 kilograms, or around 10% to 15% of your body weight. The weight loss can be sustained at 12 months follow up, or even longer if you sustain a healthy lifestyle.
