Michael had the Elipse Balloon fitted, which is a form of gastric band that can be fitted without invasive surgery.

Michael said: “The whole experience of the eclipse balloon has changed my life altogether, I am now walking a lot further.

“I am also thinking about planning a holiday by myself, where in the past I had to go with somebody.

“The balloon helped me to reprogram my mind on what I should eat and it’s enabled me to carry out everyday tasks – it’s given me my life back.”

He has now lost five stone, initially weighing in at 21 stone.

He is now a slimmer 16 stone 2 lbs.

So how does the balloon work?

The Elipse Balloon could help you shed about 14kg on average, after just three months. 

Dieters swallow a a gastric balloon, which feels like a normal pull. The balloon is then filled with liquid, to create a sense of fullness and help you lose weight.

Michael said: “I had the balloon inserted on the 24th of August 2018 and it was the best thing I’ve ever done. I am happy to say I had absolutely no pains after it was inserted, and no nausea at all. Everything went smoothly and I started to weigh myself and lose weight from then on.

“The first week saw me going down 10 lbs, week 5 it was 24 lbs – I was so happy. My mobility was improving, and I even went swimming for the first time in 8 years.

“I had taken on a seasonal job as Father Christmas over the last few years – so you can imagine my delight in December they asked: ‘Would you like to wear a fat suit Michael as you’re looking so thin!’ Who said wishes don’t come true?”
