Everything went really well and I'm looking forward to seeing results

Very happy so far, Oliver and all the team were really good and made me feel at ease!

Olivia, Munich

I had a Spatz gastric balloon inserted and the result far exceeded my expectations

I went from 136 kg to 86 kg in 12 months! It supports the weight loss process enormously.

Tom, Berlin

The great clinic team, my BMI is in the normal curve and I am grateful for that

I was overweight and had tried many diets and knew that the only way to lose weight would be with a gastric balloon.
