Gastric Balloon Treatment
An effective and safe solution to treat obesity and reach your ideal weight
20 years of experience | More than 3,000 patients
The Orbera™ Gastric Balloon System offers a non-surgical, effective, and low-risk approach for weight loss and obesity management. Placed endoscopically, this treatment provides enhanced safety for the patient.
Ideal for individuals who are 17 to 66 pounds (8 to 30 kilograms) overweight and prefer not to undergo bariatric surgery, this system features a soft silicone balloon. Inserted deflated through endoscopy and filled with saline solution, the balloon occupies approximately 60% of the stomach’s capacity. This setup induces a feeling of satiety and fullness, enabling patients to achieve significant weight loss with smaller food portions.
Throughout the Gastric Balloon Treatment, patients receive comprehensive support from a Multidisciplinary Team of Specialists, including a Nutritionist, Psychologist, Sports Physician, Psychiatrist, and Endoscopist.
The treatment duration is six months, and the balloon is removed endoscopically under deep sedation with the assistance of an anesthesiologist.
