Is Orbera Right for Me?
At Smart Dimensions, our goal is to find an effective weight loss solution for all of our patients. Each individual patient requires personalized care and what may work for some may not be the best option for others. That is why we offer a wide variety of weight loss options. In some cases, surgery may not be the ideal choice. For these patients, we offer non-surgical weight loss options like the Orbera gastric balloon.
Is Orbera Right for Me?
The Orbera intragastric balloon system is a non-surgical weight loss option. This unique system works by inserting the deflated gastric balloon down the esophagus using an endoscopic camera. Once the balloon is safely inside the stomach, it is filled with a sterile saline solution. The balloon effectively reduces the size of the stomach by taking up space. This allows the patient to feel fuller faster which reduces the amount they eat.
Candidates for the Orbera gastric balloon system should have a BMI between 30-40 kg/m2. It is important to note that Orbera is not a stand-alone weight loss solution. Candidates for Orbera should commit to following a diet and exercise plan in conjunction with Orbera in order to see the results they desire.
