What is the Orbera Intragastric Balloon and How Does It Work?

The Orbera Intragastric Balloon is a minimally invasive, non-surgical weight-loss solution designed to help individuals achieve significant and sustainable weight loss. During the procedure, a balloon is inserted through the mouth and inflated in the stomach, reducing the amount of space available for food. This results in a feeling of fullness after eating smaller meals, helping you eat less and lose weight.

The procedure is done endoscopically, requiring no incisions, and typically takes 20-30 minutes under mild sedation. Most patients can return home the same day.

Why Choose the Orbera Intragastric Balloon?
