Intragastric Weight Loss Balloon: Orbera

The intragastric weight loss balloon is the only non-surgical weight loss strategy proven to help people lose weight. Your weight loss journey begins with a personalized evaluation. You’ll start receiving the education you need to prepare you for success. After that, the Orbera balloon is inserted into your stomach during an upper endoscopy. This is a non-surgical procedure where you will be completely asleep and comfortable. The balloon will remain in place for six months, helping to control portion size and curb appetite. With the help of the weight loss balloon and personalized coaching, you’ll focus on healthy eating, exercise, and lifestyle habits to maximize your success. The weight loss balloon is removed from your stomach at six months. After the weight loss balloon is removed, you’ll continue receiving support to help you achieve and maintain your optimal weight and healthy lifestyle.
