ORBERA Balloon Q & A
What is the ORBERA Balloon?
The ORBERA balloon is a non-surgical weight loss treatment that involves placing a deflated silicone balloon into the stomach, which is then filled with saline. This minimally invasive procedure is designed to help patients feel fuller sooner, reducing the amount of food consumed and promoting healthier eating habits. The ORBERA balloon is typically used in conjunction with a comprehensive weight management program, including dietary changes and exercise.
Common reasons for choosing the ORBERA balloon include:
- Obesity or being overweight
- Difficulty controlling appetite or portion sizes
- Need for additional support in weight loss efforts
When Should I Consider the ORBERA Balloon?
You might consider the ORBERA balloon if you have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater and have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. This treatment is suitable for individuals who are looking for a non-surgical option to help kickstart their weight loss journey and improve their overall health.
Dr. Masood Tareen can assess your situation and determine if the ORBERA balloon is a suitable choice for your weight loss needs.
What Can I Expect During the ORBERA Balloon Procedure?
The ORBERA balloon procedure is performed as an outpatient procedure and typically takes about 20-30 minutes. You will receive sedation to ensure comfort during the process. A flexible endoscope is used to insert the deflated balloon into your stomach, where it is then filled with saline to create a sense of fullness.
After the procedure, you may experience mild discomfort, nausea, or bloating for a few days as your body adjusts to the balloon. Most patients can resume normal activities soon after the procedure, and Dr. Tareen will provide guidance on post-procedure care to maximize weight loss success.
What are the Benefits of the ORBERA Balloon?
The ORBERA balloon offers a non-surgical approach to weight loss that can lead to significant results. It helps patients develop healthier eating habits and encourages lifestyle changes, all while providing support and accountability throughout the weight loss process. Many patients experience substantial weight loss, improved health markers, and enhanced quality of life.
