Orbera Weight Loss System

 

Orbera Gastric Balloon is a new incision-less, non-surgical option for weight loss.  It bridges the gap between diet and exercise, pharmaceutical options and surgery with great results* The placement of the intragastric balloon is for six months coupled with an individually tailored support program to help patients amplify their weight loss efforts to live a healthier lifestyle.

 

• Non-surgical, reversible procedure done under a mild sedative, the Orbera intragastric balloon is placed in the stomach and inflated with Saline until it’s about the size of a grapefruit.  The balloon is deflated and removed at six months, again under mild sedation.

• Takes up space in the stomach to help patients eat smaller meals.  Weight loss is usually rapid, with the majority of weight lost in the first 3 months *.
• With diet and exercise, Orbera can have up to  3.1 times the weight loss  than other procedures. *
• Out-patient procedure that typically takes only 20-30 minutes.
• FDA approved with 20 years of intragastric balloon experience and over 220,000 devices placed worldwide.
• Procedure well tolerated by the majority of patients and less side effects than surgical options.
