Life-changing weight loss
When you're serious about losing weight and improving your health, the
ORBERA® Medical Weight Loss Procedure is a smart choice. The unique gastric balloon design and comprehensive fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle coaching work together to help you achieve your goals and lose excess weight.
Clinically proven, ORBERA is helping people around the world lose weight and keep it off. But perhaps most importantly, our patients are embracing their futures, improving their health, and feeling more confident than ever.
New gastric balloon technology
The innovative design uses a gastric balloon to take up room in your stomach. When the balloon is in place, you'll feel less hungry, so it's easier to eat the healthy foods you enjoy in reasonable portions.
1 year of comprehensive coaching
With guidance from experts to keep you motivated and accountable, and a full set of online tools and resources, you have one year of support to create permanent lifestyle changes.
Weight loss without surgery
In a recent study, patients lost more than two times more weight with ORBERA than with diet and exercise alone. And most patients keep the weight off or continue to lose, even after the balloon is removed.
The three phases of ORBERA
The ORBERA Procedure was developed for people who want to achieve significant weight loss and are ready to adopt a new, healthy lifestyle to keep the weight off for good.
ORBERA provides a personalized pathway broken down into three phases over 12 months. Each phase is specifically designed to assist you at key stages during your weight loss journey.
1. Readiness
Your weight loss journey begins with a personalized evaluation. You'll start receiving the education you need to prepare you for success.
2. Jump Start
During this phase, the gastric balloon is inserted in your stomach. It will remain in place for six months, helping to control portion size and curb appetite. With the balloon’s help, paired with personalized coaching, you'll focus on healthy eating, exercise, and lifestyle habits to maximize your success. The balloon is removed from your stomach at six months.
3. Healthy Living
After the balloon is removed, you'll continue receiving support to help you achieve and maintain your optimal weight and healthy lifestyle.

The key element to your success
The balloon keeps hunger at bay
Only the ORBERA procedure places a gastric balloon, medical-grade and saline-filled, inside your stomach for six months. The balloon takes up room in your stomach so there's less space for food and you feel satisfied longer.
How is the balloon removed?
The ORBERA removal is just like its insertion. The balloon is removed through a quick non-surgical procedure. Throughout the next six months you have an opportunity to capitalize on your progress by continuing your coaching. When your yearlong program is over, you will have created a healthy lifestyle that will help you continue to lose weight and keep it off.
How it works
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.
A year of change. To last a lifetime.
Weight loss is personal
With ORBERA, you've got the support of professionals who can help make healthy eating, fitness, and lifestyle habits a permanent part of your life. This personalized approach takes your schedule, habits, and needs into account to help you create a healthy lifestyle that works for you.
Monthly sessions keep you on the path to success
During regular appointments, your team will help you set goals and track your progress. They're there for you when you need help, with tools and insights to get you on the right track. They hold you accountable. They celebrate your success. And with their support, you'll develop healthy weight management skills to sustain and continue your success.
