Has your diet and exercise efforts failed? Are too afraid to try aggressive weight loss
surgeries like gastric bypass or gastric banding? There is a relatively new, non-invasive
weight loss procedure developed for those who cannot lose weight through
dieting but are unable to commit to surgery.
The ORBERA Intragastric Balloon System is a new weight-loss method that
is temporary, but produces big results.
Take a look at this brief overview of how the procedure works and what
you can expect:
What is it? Intragastric Balloon System is a weight-loss
system that uses a gastric balloon to occupy space in the stomach. Using a minimally invasive endoscopic
procedure, the patient is mildly sedated and the balloon is placed into the
stomach through the mouth. Once in
place, the balloon is filled with saline and it expands into a spherical
shape.
How does it work? The Intragastric Balloon System takes up
space in the stomach to help patients lose weight. Patients will enjoy a feeling of fullness
sooner and longer after eating meals, which encourages portion control and
helps manage hunger. The system is
temporary and should be removed after 6 months.
Can I use it? This device is used in obese adult patients
who have an abnormally high mass index rate and are unable to lose weight
through diet and exercise. The
Intragastric Balloon System should not be used for those who have any
inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, have potential upper
gastrointestinal bleeding conditions, have serious esophageal motility
disorders and any other medical condition that would hinder safety or
effectiveness.
Let the ORBERA Intragastric Balloon System kick start your
health and wellbeing into gear!
