What is the ORBERA Gastric
Weight Loss Balloon?
The ORBERA Managed Weight Loss System is a nonsurgical program that helps patients lose weight and maintain weight loss. The procedure involves placement of a soft, silicone rubber balloon into the stomach. This balloon takes up about one third of the space in the stomach, and can create a feeling of fullness so the patient consumes a smaller quantity of food, leading to weight loss. The balloon remains in the stomach for six months, and then is removed.

How does the ORBERA Gastric
Weight Loss Balloon work?
The ORBERA balloon is placed at an ambulatory surgery center on an outpatient basis. The procedure is performed under IV Anesthesia for maximum comfort and safety and takes about 30 minutes. Using a lighted instrument, the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum are inspected. The deflated balloon is placed through the mouth into the stomach and the balloon is filled with saline (salt water) solution until it is the size of a grapefruit. The balloon is removed in six months in the same way.
