The Procedure

ORBERA GASTRIC BALLOON

A synthetic, sterile fluid filled balloon sits in the stomach, partially filling the space inside. This has the effect of making you feel less hungry and feel fuller quicker and for longer when you do eat. The Orbera gastric balloon must be removed after 6 months, after which time dietary support will help you maintain a more controlled diet and therefore maintain the weight loss.

The Procedure

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 .
