There is no single weight-loss treatment that works for everyone. The right option depends on your BMI, your health, your habits and your previous attempts. That is why the effective approach is not to choose “the trendy treatment”, but to start from a medical assessment that personalises the plan: nutrition, endoscopic options such as the gastric balloon, medical treatment or surgery, with follow-up. This is how longer-lasting results are achieved.
When it comes to losing weight, there is no single solution that works for everyone. Each patient is different, with their own habits, personal history and previous experiences in the fight against being overweight. That is why it is essential to choose the most suitable treatment for each individual, ensuring effective and lasting results. One of the most requested options for weight loss with a gastric balloon in Girona, but it is not always the right one: everything starts with an assessment.
In this guide we explain how the most suitable treatment is decided, what is assessed in the initial evaluation and what options exist, so that you arrive at your consultation with a clear idea.
A personalised approach to weight loss
Success starts with a thorough evaluation. Before recommending a treatment, the team carries out a detailed analysis that includes:
- Medical history: medical background that may influence the weight-loss process.
- Eating habits: your current patterns, to design a realistic and sustainable plan.
- Lifestyle: physical activity, stress and other factors that are key in the process.
- Previous successes and failures: which treatments have been tried and what has or has not worked.
All this information makes it possible to adjust the strategy and increase the chances of success. It is what distinguishes a personalised plan from a generic solution.
Choosing the right treatment
With the information gathered, the team works together with the patient to choose the most suitable option. Depending on the case, it may include:
- Personalised nutrition programmes: meal plans adapted to needs and preferences, so that the process is sustainable.
- Specialised medical treatments: depending on the assessment, specific medical treatments, endoscopic treatments or the gastric balloon may be recommended, aligned with the patient's goals and general health.
- Ongoing support: constant support to address emotional and psychological factors related to eating and body image.
Treatment options according to profile
Indicative comparison of the main options. It is not a recommendation: the right option is decided at the consultation, on an individual basis.
| Option | What does it consist of | When it is usually considered |
|---|---|---|
| Dietetics and nutrition | Personalised meal plan and change of habits, with follow-up | Foundation of almost all cases; a starting point or complement |
| Medical treatment | Pharmacological treatment of obesity, under prescription and supervision | Selected cases, always with a medical indication |
| Gastric balloon | Temporary device that reduces appetite; endoscopic or swallowable | Overweight/obesity seeking a non-surgical option |
| MEGA Method (Endomanga) | Endoscopic gastric reduction, without open surgery | Intermediate alternative between balloon and surgery |
| Bariatric surgery | Surgical modification of the digestive system | High BMI or comorbidities, in indicated cases |
The suitability of each option, its indications and contraindications are assessed by the medical team in each case.
Why personalisation makes the difference
The key to effective, lasting weight loss lies in personalizing the treatment. By choosing the right solution, the chances are maximized that the patient will not only reach their goals but also maintain the results in the long term. Support at every step of the process is what sustains the change in habits.
How do you know which treatment is right for you?
Don’t decide based on what worked for someone else. To guide you, keep in mind that the following are assessed:
- Your BMI and your general state of health.
- Your eating and lifestyle habits.
- Your previous attempts and what results they had.
- Your goals and your willingness to change.
