ORBERA GASTRIC BALLOON BEFORE AND AFTER*
The gastric balloon before and after images depict real Orbera patients and demonstrate the effectiveness of this weight loss balloon. As with any weight loss treatment, results may vary. * Long term weight loss is dependent on maintaining a healthy lifestyle once the balloon is removed.
HOW DOES A GASTRIC BALLOON WORK?
The gastric balloon is placed in the stomach during a simple, 30-minute, out-patient procedure. Before placement, your physician will sedate you to ensure your comfort. You will stay awake the entire time. The gastric balloon is made of silicone and placed in your stomach through your mouth, via an endoscope (a thin tube put down the esophagus.) The soft, smooth balloon is then inflated with saline to the size of a grapefruit.
Once inflated, the balloon takes up space in your stomach. Therefore, you will feel satiated—full—sooner. This causes you to eat less. Weight loss quickly follows. 1
The balloon remains in your stomach for six months. All the while, your support team from Body Morph MD helps you adopt a customized healthy living plan. This plan is personally tailored to address the root causes of your overeating.
After six months, the balloon is deflated and removed the same way it went in. You won’t experience any nausea and will be able to return to a regular diet the following day. After removal, your support team continues to assist you on your weight loss journey. Throughout the year-long program, you will retrain your stomach to feel fuller, sooner, and with less food. You will also develop healthy habits to help you keep the weight off for good. *
GASTRIC BALLOON VS. TRADITIONAL BARIATRIC SURGERY
Traditional bariatric surgery, such as a gastric bypass or gastric sleeve involves non-reversible procedures that surgically remove or alter a portion of the stomach or intestines. This decreases the size of the stomach, forcing the patient to eat less. Bariatric surgery also changes the way your body absorbs nutrients and digests food.
While a gastric bypass or sleeve helps a person lose weight, it requires major surgery and is notorious for producing life-altering side effects. The operation is permanent. So even if the patient loses all the weight they need, or suffers from extreme side effects, the treatment cannot be reversed.
Like bariatric surgeries, gastric balloons limit the amount of room available in the stomach to fill with food. However, unlike a gastric bypass or sleeve, Orbera is entirely non-surgical. The procedure requires no incisions. Therefore, there are no scars, no downtime, and no need to be put under using general anesthesia. Additionally, recovery after gastric balloon placement is much easier compared to traditional bariatric surgery. During the first couple of days you may experience nausea or discomfort but that can be managed with medication. Best of all, Orbera is not permanent. The device is removed from the stomach after six months. This provides enough time for the patient to lose a significant amount of weight and train their body to feel satiated with less food.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR A GASTRIC BALLOON
You will be given an acid reducer a week before your surgery to prepare for a gastric balloon. You will follow a liquid-only diet a couple of days before your procedure. This will include foods such as protein shakes, soup broths, sugar-free jello, and water. Following this diet will prepare your stomach for your post-procedure diet. Additionally, there may be other preparations you will need to follow before your procedure, depending on your individual needs.
HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN YOU LOSE WITH ORBERA GASTRIC BALLOON?
The average weight loss of patients who have undergone Orbera gastric balloon ranges from 20 to 50 pounds and about 10-20% of their initial body weight. Depending on several factors, Orbera gastric balloon weight loss results will vary for each patient. The factors include the patient’s initial weight, any obesity-related medical conditions, and how well they can follow a low-calorie diet and exercise program.
If a patient weighs more or can exercise more frequently in the six months, they can lose more weight. Some patients who have undergone this procedure have lost up to 47% of their initial weight. This means that a patient who weighs 400 pounds could lose up to 150 pounds in the six months of having an Orbera gastric balloon.
Overall, by eating less, making healthy food choices, and regularly exercising, patients can achieve significant weight loss and improved health with Orbera gastric balloons.
AFTER THE BALLOON IS REMOVED
Once your gastric balloon is removed after six months, you must limit your daily calorie intake. Usually, this will range from 1,200 to 1,400 calories. By following this regimen, it will help you maintain your weight loss. Additionally, you will want to exercise regularly to keep your body in shape and your metabolism high.
ORBERA GASTRIC WEIGHT LOSS BALLOON FAQS
HOW MUCH DOES ORBERA COST IN NEW YORK?
The gastric balloon is one of the most affordable medical weight loss solutions available. During your consultation, Body Morph MD will break down Orbera prices in detail and customize a payment plan that matches your budget. For those who will qualify for a payment plan, Body Morph MD will recommend several credit companies with competitive rates that will prove to make Orbera affordable.
CAN THE BALLOON LEAK OR DEFLATE INSIDE YOUR STOMACH?
According to clinical studies, a balloon leak or deflation is highly unlikely and occurs in fewer than 1 in 200 patients over the course of six months. However, if the gastric balloon should deflate, you may no longer feel satiated after eating. A simple abdominal X-ray can determine if your gastric balloon has deflated. If it has, your doctor will arrange to remove the deflated balloon in a simple procedure.
CAN ORBERA CAUSE ACID REFLUX?
Yes. Acid reflux is a common side effect that you may experience following Orbera gastric balloon insertion. In some cases, these symptoms may go away on their own. Spicy and fatty foods, coffee, and alcohol can all increase acid reflux symptoms. However, dairy products may help with acid reflux. Medication can also be prescribed to help alleviate acid reflux.
IS ORBERA GASTRIC BALLOON SAFE?
Orbera is proven, safe, and effective. The non-invasive weight loss device is approved by the FDA, with more than 300,000 treatments performed worldwide. However, there are risks associated with gastric balloons. Common side effects include abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. During your consultation, your physician will discuss these and other more serious side effects and determine if Orbera is right for you.
