Orbera® Intragastric Balloon for Weight Loss

A clinically proven, non-surgical solution to support long-term weight loss.

What is the Orbera® Balloon?

Orbera® is a soft silicone balloon placed in the stomach to encourage portion control and help patients adopt healthier eating habits. The balloon stays in place for six months and is part of a comprehensive weight loss program involving diet, lifestyle, and medical support.

When is it Recommended?

This option may be suitable if you:

What to Expect

The balloon is inserted and removed via gastroscopy, under sedation. The procedure takes around 20 minutes, with most patients going home the same day. Over the following months, regular check-ins and guidance help reinforce results.

Preparation & Aftercare

You’ll be advised to fast prior to placement and gradually transition from a liquid to a soft diet after the procedure. Support from your clinical team will guide you through your weight loss journey.

Risks & Complications

Common side effects include nausea or abdominal discomfort in the first few days. These typically improve quickly. Serious risks are rare but may include balloon deflation or intolerance.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

On average, patients lose 10–15% of their starting body weight, depending on adherence to lifestyle changes.

What happens after the balloon is removed?

Ongoing dietary and behavioural support is key to maintaining your results.
