The gastric balloon at Athēnix offers a surgery-free approach to weight loss. With no stomach cutting, stapling, or banding involved, it can help you shed three times more weight when combined with our 12-month medically managed support program, ensuring long-term results. Orbera® is your ideal choice for initiating a new, healthier lifestyle.
Start your journey by scheduling an appointment with us to discuss your weight loss goals and create a personalized program. We'll assist you in designing a post-procedure diet plan that suits your needs and guide you in developing healthier habits for the future.
Our Athēnix surgeon reprograms your stomach by inserting the Orbera® balloon and inflating it with a saline solution. This triggers a more frequent sensation of fullness, helping you control your portion sizes and prevent overeating, making weight loss more manageable.
Your body adapts to the new addition during the initial period following balloon insertion. While you may experience some discomfort at first, our Athēnix surgeon can provide medication to alleviate any symptoms. Please contact us immediately if you encounter severe pain, nausea, or vomiting. The first three months will see rapid weight loss, which can be further enhanced by adopting healthy eating habits and increasing physical activity.
The gastric balloon helps your body adjust to consuming smaller food portions, making this period critical for developing healthy habits. Establishing these habits will play a key role in maintaining weight loss after removing the balloon. Our team will work closely with you to optimize your daily nutrition, diet, and exercise regimen for the best results.
At the six-month mark, the balloon is removed, marking the culmination of your efforts. Your body is now effectively reprogrammed to recognize the feeling of fullness, and you have incorporated more nutrient-dense meals into your diet. These positive changes are instrumental in sustaining a healthy weight and pursuing further fitness goals.
