If Orbera is right for you, our group helps you use it to change your eating behaviors, and sustain that progress long after the balloon is removed. 

How Orbera Works

Orbera is a non-surgical procedure that can help lose 20-50 pounds in just 6 months. A deflated balloon is inserted into the stomach through the esophagus, then filled to the size of a grapefruit. The entire process usually takes about 20 minutes and most people go home in hours. The balloon stays in place for 6 months, then deflated and removed back through the esophagus. The main objective of the Orbera weight loss balloon is to jump-start your new, healthy lifestyle with quicker results.
