Obesity in modern society comes unrecognized to us. It can lead inflammation to accumulate in the body, causing serious diseases such as cancer and cerebrovascular disease, and can cause serious injuries to major lower body joints such as the knee.

Although the numerous media cover the seriousness of obesity, most people have two thoughts on the subject: “It’s okay now” and “I can lose weight later.” But when you’re trying to lose weight, your body will already be bloated beyond imagination.

The basic idea of “I’m fine now” is that no one around you will directly tell you, “You’ve gained a lot of weight, I think you’ll get a serious illness,” which can be demeaning toward your appearance. Instead, you remain completely unaware.

The thought “I can lose weight later” may show one is not aware of the urgency because they are more concerned about how inconvenient in daily work and life in would be to do something about the problem.

In conclusion, regardless of one’s will, we only realize the seriousness of the dark shadow of obesity when we hear shocking stories from others or when we feel that our physical condition is remarkably poor.

Most will exercise hard and eat a healthy diet to get rid of the fat that has increased exponentially, but eventually most give up because even if they continue to do it with willpower, you won’t see rapid results.

In that case, an effective and immediate alternative we can think of is a procedure called “End-ball.”

The End-ball procedure is a safe diet method that helps control the amount of food eaten and induces weight loss by inserting a durable balloon with 100% sterile and air into the stomach to help maintain a feeling of fullness.

It is performed through endoscopy without a surgical operation, and corrects the wrong eating habits, which are the root cause of obesity, and helps to lose weight in a short period of time.

The main advantages of using End-ball are:

  • Relatively simple procedure in a short time of about 10 minutes through endoscopy.

  • Surgical operation is not performed, leaving no scars, and the risk of side effects and complications is very low.

  • Great weight loss in a short period of time by helping to keep you full without having to eat a lot.

  • There is no need for hospitalization, and daily life is possible after a recovery period of 3 to 4 days.

  • For 6 months, the yo-yo effect does not occur because of proper eating habits.

  • Efficient treatment is possible when dietary control is urgent due to high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.

Dr. K Medicare Clinic, located in Pyeongtaek, runs an obesity clinic and conducts End-ball procedures to help solve the problem of obesity.

Representative director of Dr. K Medicare Clinic, Kim Ji-eun, received the procedure herself and tried to prove its objectivity.

In addition, Dr. K Medicare Clinic operates a health examination center, internal medicine treatment, manual treatment clinic, and child development clinic.

Dr. K Medicare Clinic is confident that it will be a great total medical center for foreigners residing in Pyeongtaek.
