Transform Your Life: The Complete Guide to Weight Loss Success

How Dr Vahe Clinic Combines Allurion Gastric Balloon, GLP-1 Injections, Bariatric Surgery & More for Sustainable Results

If you're struggling with weight loss, you're not alone -and you're certainly not without options. At Dr Vahe Clinic, a leading weight loss clinic in London, we offer a comprehensive, medically led approach to help you achieve lasting results.

From innovative non-surgical treatments like the Allurion Gastric Balloon and GLP-1 medications, to advanced bariatric surgery with renowned surgeon Mr Alhamdani, we tailor every journey to the individual. Add in personalised nutritional support, DNA and blood testing, and solutions for post-weight loss skin laxity -and you have everything you need under one roof.

Here’s how we support you at every stage of your weight loss transformation.

1. The Allurion Gastric Balloon: A Non-Surgical Boost to Get You Started

For those looking for a safe, effective, and non-invasive weight loss solution, the Allurion Gastric Balloon is a game-changer. Unlike traditional gastric balloons, this soft balloon is swallowed in capsule form, filled once in the stomach, and naturally passes after 16 weeks -no surgery, no anaesthesia, no endoscopy.

Clinical data shows patients lose an average of 10-15% of their body weight during the programme [1].

At Dr Vahe Clinic, we offer this revolutionary treatment in collaboration with NRG Clinic, ensuring expert care, full nutritional guidance, and medical supervision throughout the process.

2. GLP-1 Injections: Harnessing Science for Appetite Control

GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic and Wegovy or Mounjaro work by mimicking your body’s natural hormones to reduce hunger, control blood sugar, and promote steady weight loss.

Studies prove their effectiveness, with patients achieving up to 15% body weight reduction when combined with lifestyle changes [2]. However, GLP-1 medications must be carefully managed to avoid side effects and nutritional imbalances -which is where our medical expertise comes in.

At Dr Vahe Clinic, GLP-1 therapy is never a stand-alone solution. We integrate it into a personalised weight management programme that supports your metabolism, diet, and long-term success.

3. Bariatric Surgery: Permanent Solutions with Mr Alhamdani

For patients with severe obesity or weight-related health conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnoea, bariatric surgery may be the most effective route.

That’s why Dr Vahe Clinic partners with Mr Ahmed Alhamdani, one of the UK’s top Bariatric and Metabolic Surgeons, to offer life-changing surgical options, including:

• Gastric Sleeve

• Gastric Bypass

• Mini Gastric Bypass

• Revision Surgeries

Bariatric surgery isn’t just about weight loss -it's about improving metabolic health, reducing reliance on medications, and extending life expectancy. With Mr Alhamdani’s expertise and our clinic’s pre- and post-surgical support, patients experience safe, effective outcomes with ongoing care.

Case Example: Sophie's Transformation

Sophie, aged 42, with a BMI of 42 and Type 2 diabetes, underwent a gastric sleeve procedure through our collaborative pathway. Within 12 months, she lost 35kg, reversed her diabetes markers, and regained her energy -all while receiving nutritional guidance, psychological support, and skin tightening treatments from Dr Vahe Clinic.

4. Nutritional Support: The Backbone of Every Weight Loss Plan

No matter which treatment pathway you choose -gastric balloon, GLP-1 injections, or surgery -nutrition is key. Many weight loss failures stem from poor dietary habits, nutrient deficiencies, or misinformation.

At Dr Vahe Clinic, our nutrition specialists provide:

• Tailored meal planning based on your metabolism and lifestyle

• Management of macronutrient balance for fat loss without muscle depletion

• Correction of vitamin and mineral deficiencies

• Support for gut health and digestion during weight loss treatments

Case Study: Mark’s Success

Mark, a 50-year-old client on GLP-1 therapy, initially plateaued after 6 weeks. Through detailed nutritional review and adjustments to his protein intake, along with IV infusions for energy and metabolism, Mark restarted his progress and lost 14kg in 4 months.

5. Blood Testing & DNA Analysis: Personalised Weight Loss Based on Your Biology

Why do some people lose weight easily while others struggle? The answer often lies in your biology.

Our clinic uses advanced blood panels and DNA testing to uncover:

• Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, cortisol, insulin resistance)

• Vitamin and mineral deficiencies impacting metabolism

• Genetic predispositions affecting fat storage, appetite, and exercise response

With this data, we design a bespoke weight loss strategy that aligns with how YOUR body works -avoiding wasted time on generic diets.

6. IV Infusions: Supporting Energy, Metabolism & Recovery

During weight loss, your body demands optimal nutrition. Our IV therapy options, including metabolism-boosting cocktails and glutathione drips, help:

• Combat fatigue

• Enhance fat burning

• Support liver detoxification

• Replenish essential nutrients

These infusions are particularly beneficial for patients on GLP-1 therapy, post-gastric balloon, or after bariatric surgery, when nutrient absorption can be compromised.

7. Addressing Skin Laxity: Look as Good as You Feel

Significant weight loss can sometimes leave behind loose or sagging skin, particularly around the abdomen, arms, and thighs. At Dr Vahe Clinic, we offer advanced aesthetic treatments to restore skin firmness, including:

• Endolift Laser Therapy

• Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening

• Sculptra & Polynucleotide Injections for collagen stimulation

• Microneedling with Skin Boosters

This ensures that your weight loss results are not only healthy but also aesthetically pleasing -helping you feel confident in your new body.
