What Does A Year-in-the-life of An Orbera Balloon Patient Look Like?

Every patient's experience will be different but this general outline of a year with Orbera will give you some idea of what can be expected.

Months 1-3

After the balloon is placed, it will take from a few days to a week for your body to get used to it being there. You may feel nauseous but eventually, this will dissipate. The doctor can prescribe some medication to help ease any discomfort you may have.

You will learn a new way to eat. Instead of eating because you are bored or because other people are eating, you will listen to your body and eat when you are hungry.

Most patients experience the fastest and most significant weight loss during the first three months. Patients who experienced the most weight loss concentrate on healthy eating and include physical activity in their daily routines.

Months 4-6

By month 4 most patients have become accustomed to eating smaller portions and feeling satisfied. They are learning new habits and their body and mind are becoming trained to think and react differently. Psychologists have proven that forming a new habit takes about 21 days but breaking an old habit takes much longer.

Forming new habits will ensure that when the balloon is removed patients will experience ongoing success with continued weight loss and maintenance of their ideal body weight.

One of the best things about the program is that no one is on their own; they are working with a team of professionals who will help them with their nutritional goals and with finding physical activity/exercise tailored for their circumstances.

Months 6 And Beyond

Once the balloon is removed your new eating habits should be on auto-pilot and knowing when your body is telling you it is full should be second nature. More food choices and variety can be introduced into your diet while keeping nutritional value as the focus. Continuing to follow healthy lifestyle choices and behavior modifications will help maintain your weight loss.

How Does A Weight Loss Journey With An Orbera Balloon Begin?

Losing weight with the help of an Orbera balloon begins with the placement of the balloon in the patient's stomach.

The entire procedure is done through an endoscope without the use of any incisions or surgery and takes approximately 20 minutes.

The doctor will perform a diagnostic endoscopy to make sure the procedure will be safe for the patient. Then, the patient will be mildly sedated and a deflated Orbera balloon will be placed into the stomach through the endoscope. The balloon is then inflated with a solution of sterile saline to resemble the size of a grapefruit.

The balloon is removed after 6 months in the same way only in reverse.
