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.

Patient Success
“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!”
“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.”
