Your Journey
Welcome to the Kitakurang Programme!
The swallowable balloon is a gastric balloon that requires no surgery, endoscopy, or anaesthesia. It helps to reduce weight by taking up space in the stomach, creating a feeling of fullness and reducing your food intake.
Lose an average of 10 to 15%* of total body weight in 4 months, thanks to the balloon. Alongside this is the fully supported Kitakurang Programme to help you maintain the weight loss.
*Results may vary based on different individuals
This unique programme uses the intragastric balloon as a tool to kick start the weight loss journey, and is complemented by customised nutritionist support for 12 months. You would have the help of a qualified professional helping you to form eating habits that continue to last a lifetime. At the same time, the programme also advocates fitness activities to complement the healthier and fitter lifestyle.
