What is the Gastric Balloon?

The gastric balloon is a non-surgical option that doesn't involve stomach cutting, stapling, or banding. Combined with our 12-month medically supervised program, it can help you shed three times more weight than diet and exercise alone. Orbera® is an effective way to kickstart a new, healthier you!

How it Works

Before the Procedure

Start by scheduling an appointment with us to discuss your weight loss goals and develop a personalized program. We'll help you create a post-procedure diet plan and guide you toward healthier habits for the future.

During the Procedure

The Orbera® balloon is inserted into the stomach and filled with a saline solution to retrain your stomach and increase feelings of fullness and satisfaction. This aids in portion control and prevents overeating, making weight loss more manageable.

The First Three Months

Your body needs time to adjust to the gastric balloon. While there may be some initial discomfort, our Athēnix team can provide medication to alleviate any symptoms. Please contact us immediately if you experience 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.

Months Four Through Six

During this phase, your body will become accustomed to smaller food portions. Focus on developing healthy habits to maintain weight loss once the balloon is removed. Our team will work closely with you to optimize your daily nutrition, diet, and exercise routine for the best results.

After Removal

Six months later, the balloon is removed, marking the end of your journey. Your body has been effectively reprogrammed to recognize feelings of fullness, and you've incorporated more nutrient-dense meals into your diet. These positive changes will help you maintain a healthy weight and pursue additional fitness goals.
