What is ORBERA™ (weight loss balloon)?
- Comprehensive two-part program designed to provide effective, motivating results that you can see. With ORBERA™ patients on average lose 3.1 times the weight they would with diet and exercise along.
- Starts with a soft balloon placed in your stomach for six months to reinforce proper portion control.
- The ORBERA weight loss balloon takes up space in your stomach helps you eat smaller meals.
- The weight loss balloon is temporarily placed in your stomach for six months without surgery or any incisions.
- Patients will receive coaching from a team of experts, which may include a dietician, psychologist, and exercise physiologist. Coaching continues after balloon is removed at six months for a total of 12 months
The Procedure
- Placement and removal is a non-surgical procedure done under a mild sedative. The thin and deflated ORBERA™ weight loss balloon is placed into the stomach. It is then filled with saline until it’s about the size of a grapefruit. The procedure typically takes about 20-30 minutes so you can go home the very same day
- At six months, the weight loss balloon is removed in the same way it was placed. Through a non-surgical procedure done under a mild sedative, it is deflated first then removed .
