About Belly Balloon Orlando
Get ready to start your weight loss journey today.
As specialists in digestion, our patients often
ask our advice on weight loss and losing fat. Although there
are many fad diets and trends, it is rare that we find a
weight loss program or innovation that we’re excited about.
That’s why we’re so pleased to be able to offer
the ORBERA weight loss balloon to Central Florida.
The ORBERA balloon, and the weight loss program we
offer, is one of the few weight loss methods that
we’ve seen work for many of our patients. Our program
expands on the success of the balloon itself by
giving Florida patients a comprehensive approach to
losing weight. We integrate expert coaching and nutritional help through an
online aftercare platform and combine that with our compassionate
in-office support to all our balloon patients.
Dr. Ahmed is Central Florida's #1 Orbera provider. He performed 45 Reshape
Double Balloon insertion procedures before switching over to the Orbera Single Balloon System.
The insertion and removal of the Orbera Balloon is much simpler, better tolerated, and as effective.
The
ORBERA intragastric balloon is a new, FDA
approved, non-surgical approach to weight loss that
is proven to help people achieve and maintain
significant weight loss. Dr. Ahmed is one of the
first GI doctors in the state of Florida to offer
this innovative procedure. If you are interested in
learning more about the intragastric balloon for
non-surgical weight loss, we invite you to call our
office at 407-420-7663 to speak with one of our team
members about how this may be the right option for
you.
WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE BALLOON PROGRAM?
The ORBERA Procedure was specifically designed for
patients with a BMI between 30–40, and may
be a good weight loss option for people who do not
qualify or do not want to have bariatric surgery. We
help patients who are looking for weight loss,
increased energy, or an improvement in health. Our
most successful patients are those who are looking
for an exclusive program, supported by a dedicated
team, and are ready to make the lifestyle
adjustments that will best support their goals.
UNDERSTANDING HOW THE BALLOON WORKS
The
ORBERA balloon is placed in your stomach during a
quick outpatient procedure. The
deflated balloon is placed in your stomach with a scope & filled with saline solution.
You’ll be able to go home the same day,
at which point you’ll start a 6 month program of
weight loss. This program is designed to make you
feel empowered and positively supported as you learn
from nutrition and fitness experts. We offer a
highly customizable, convenient program that
includes the ability to take exercise classes on
line, and consult live with a nutritionist through
video chat from your home.
The ORBERA
balloon will stay in your stomach for 6 months, at
which point we will remove it. Often our patients
have reached their weight loss goal at this point,
and we work with them for another 6 months to make
sure their transition phase is successful. The
increased energy and confidence that patients feel
after losing weight, combined with our expert
coaches, mean many people maintain their weight loss
or even continue to lose more weight even after the
balloon is removed.
WHAT DOES THE BALLOON
PROGRAM INCLUDE?
The ORBERA balloon program
helps you revamp your eating and your lifestyle with expert
education and support. To make this easy and
convenient for you, we incorporate a FitBit wireless
scale and 1 year of online nutrition and lifestyle coaching from experts. Our exclusive program takes the
mystery out of weight loss, and gives you tools to
finally allow you to find the success you’ve been
looking for.
If you’re ready to end a cycle
of diets that don’t last, and ready to see success
from the lifestyle changes you make, ask us about
the ORBERA weight loss balloon.
Non-surgical
With ORBERA, your doctor will gently insert the balloon through your mouth(endoscopically), with no incisions or scars.
Non-anatomy Altering
Unlike weight loss surgeries, ORBERA is not a permanent implant and does not permanently reroute your digestive system.
Outpatient Procedure
Insertion of the balloon is completed in about 20 to 30 minutes, with no hospital stay required. You can get in and out and on your way to weight loss.
