Paul Bailey
Paul gets a new lease of life at 60.
Paul Bailey from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, had a gastric balloon fitted by Gateway Health 5 months ago and has lost nearly 4 stone. Paul hasn’t felt hungry since the balloon was put in. The only downside was that he felt sick on the first day.
Before Paul had the gastric balloon fitted he suffered with high cholesterol and high blood pressure; his cholesterol is now normal and his blood pressure is now much lower. Paul had also suffered a heart attack.

I would recommend Gateway Health 100%. The support I’ve over the last 5 months has been fantastic. The support programme lasts 12 months and you can always contact them for advice after that. It is money well spent. You can’t put a price on your health.
My doctor said that if I didn’t stop smoking and lose weight then I was going to have another heart attack. I gave up smoking, but I couldn’t lose the weight as I’ve got an under active thyroid and the tablets make it harder to lose weight. I knew I needed something to help me lose weight so I spoke to Gateway Health, they explained everything clearly. I have felt an improvement in my health every step of the way. My doctor is so chuffed with how far I’ve come, and so am I!
I also suffer from osteo-arthritis and before I had the balloon fitted I was going to have a stair lift fitted, but now I can run upstairs! I do sit-ups regularly and most days I take a brisk walk to the shops.
Being slimmer has made me happier, when I go shopping for clothes I can’t wait to get home to try them on. Before I lost weight I used to carry a tape measure with me when I went clothes shopping. I used to feel upset if I got home and the clothes didn’t fit. Shopping is now so much more enjoyable.
I can do so many things that I couldn’t do before. My social life has improved, in fact my confidence has improved so much that I’m now looking for a new partner!!
