How does it work?
The ORBERA® Managed Weight Loss System begins with a soft silicone intragastric (inside the stomach) balloon. The balloon is temporarily inserted for six months into the stomach without surgery and filled with salt water to create the feeling of early and prolonged fullness after meals - the foundation for the kick-start to your weight-loss.

“There was a dress in my closet that was taunting me for two years. I bought it for a wedding, and between the time I bought the dress and the wedding, I had put on too much weight to wear it but I was determined to fit into the dress for another wedding later this year. I finally tried on the dress and it fit! It’s time to shop for shoes!”
Carol, lost 11 kg
“Bad habits weren’t just about me anymore. When I was diagnosed with a medical condition, it was about my family and I needed to act. This works. But not by itself. You’ve got to do your part as well. Follow the support plan that the team lays out for you and you’re going to see results.”
