Orbera™ Balloon

What is Orbera™?

• A comprehensive two-part program designed to provide effective, motivating results that you can see.
• Starts with a soft balloon placed in your stomach for 6 months to reinforce proper portion control.
• The Orbera™ balloon takes up space in your stomach to help you eat smaller meals.
• Patients will receive coaching from a team of experts, which may include a dietician, psychologist, and exercise physiologist.
• Coaching will continue after the balloon is removed for 6 months. That is a total of 12 months of professional coaching.

The Procedure: Placement and Removal

• Performed under a mild sedative, the thin and deflated Orbera™ balloon is placed into the stomach. The balloon is then filled with saline until it is about the size of a grapefruit.
• The procedure typically takes about 20-30 minutes so you can go home the same day.
• At 6 months the balloon is then removed in the same way it was placed. After mild sedation, the balloon is first deflated and then removed.

What to expect?

• The weight loss is rapid with the majority of weight loss typically occurring in the first 3 months of treatment.
• On average, patients lost 3.1 times the weight loss of diet and exercise alone.
• The adjustments to your eating habits and your continued efforts to stay active will greatly influence your results.
