The SensiSlim™ program

The SensiSlim™ program is a non-invasive and tailor-made body transformation program. It consists of very accessible treatments. After the various treatments there is no down time, so you can continue to work, exercise and carry out your daily activities. It is not the case that everyone needs the four programs. This differs per individual. One client needs two, another three and another four.

Help is here

One of the treatments in the SensiSlim™ program is the Elipse gastric balloon. Do you eat healthy and exercise enough, but can't lose those last crucial kilos? Elipse is a swallowable gastric balloon that allows you to lose weight in a short time in a natural and non-painful way. With the help of renowned plastic surgeon Farid Kazem and his team, you will regain control over your eating habits.

The Elipse gastric balloon remains in the stomach for sixteen weeks and provides a 'full' feeling. This trains the brain and makes you eat differently. Instead of eight to ten eating moments per day, it is reduced to about four to five times. You will receive guidance from the appointed Kazem dietitian throughout the entire process and you will often lose between four to six kilos in the first ten days.

The most important thing about losing weight is that the lost kilos do not come back and that you adjust your eating behavior. That is why good guidance is extra important during the process. Plastic surgeon Kazem and the dietician create a specially tailored nutritional and lifestyle schedule with advice and support during the process. You will also receive a SMART scale that is connected to the mobile app to easily track your progress. After sixteen weeks the balloon dissolves and the valve deflates. This is the time when the body gets used to smaller portions and healthier eating habits.

Suitable for Elipse?

The Elipse gastric balloon is suitable for women and men who want to lose weight permanently without undergoing major surgery. Exercising or dieting alone is not enough for many Dutch people to lose weight permanently. The Elipse gastric balloon ensures that you lose weight in a healthy and safe way. This in combination with intensive guidance changes the eating habits and the lost kilos stay away forever. Elipse candidates are suitable if they have a BMI above 27.
