Orbera Gastric Balloon Procedure

How Orbera Gastric Balloon Procedure is Done?

• • The procedure includes the placement and removal of ORBERA gastric balloon
  • The non-surgical procedure is done under a mild sedative, the thin and deflated ORBERA 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 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

Orbera Gastric Balloon Procedure Expectations

• The weight loss is rapid with the majority of weight loss typically occurring in the first three months of treatment
