What is an Orbera Balloon?
A gastric balloon, also known as an intragastric balloon, is an inflatable medical device that is used to reduce the size of the stomach. It is used when traditional diet and exercise methods do not produce the desired results. However, the procedure may not be suitable for patients who are not interested in undergoing surgery.
Procedure

The ORBERA balloon is a thin balloon filled with saline that is placed in the stomach under mild sedation. The procedure is performed in an outpatient surgical setting. It is a relatively painless procedure that takes between 20 and 30 minutes. After the balloon has been in place for about six months, the surgeon will remove it.

Following the procedure, patients may experience nausea and vomiting. Vomiting can indicate a serious stomach problem. If untreated, the stomach pain could lead to death. The balloon can also deflate, which could cause a blockage of the bowel. Fortunately, no deaths have been reported as a result of this complication.

The procedure can help you lose weight more effectively and safely than diet and exercise alone. However, it should be used in conjunction with a supervised weight loss program. The procedure has been used to aid in weight loss for over 20 years, and has undergone several improvements to improve its safety. The Orbera intragastric balloon was approved by the FDA in August 2015 and is used in more than 80 countries.
Weight loss results

The Orbera balloon is a temporary weight loss solution that works with the body's natural appetite suppression mechanisms to change your eating habits. It helps you lose two to five pounds per week, and the balloon is removed after about six months. In addition, the balloon is designed to help you sustain your weight loss results even after you remove it. A team of medical professionals will work with you to ensure you achieve your goals and stay on track.

The procedure is safe and effective, and more than 300,000 people have already opted to have it. However, some side effects have been reported, including nausea, vomiting, or acid reflux. While these are rare, they could require medical attention. Patients who are sensitive to the balloon should also be prepared to deal with potential complications that may arise from the procedure.

A patient with a BMI of 27 or higher is eligible for the procedure. They must also have a diagnosis of obesity grade I or II. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis with the use of a mild sedative. The procedure lasts approximately one hour and is non-invasive.
Side effects

The Orbera balloon is a medical device that is implanted into the stomach. Patients who have the device may experience nausea and vomiting after the procedure. These symptoms can occur as a result of the balloon irritating the stomach wall. Patients will be given medicines to help reduce stomach acid and protect the stomach wall. People with previous stomach surgery should not have the procedure as they are at a higher risk for balloon perforation. Although there have been no reports of death related to this procedure, any unusual symptoms should be reported to a physician to get help.

Another possible side effect is stomach pain. The balloon can cause ulcers and heartburn. However, these are temporary and do not require hospitalization. In severe cases, the balloon can lead to a hole in the stomach.
Recovery time

The recovery time for an Orbera balloon procedure is relatively short, at approximately five days. This procedure is non-surgical and involves mild sedation. Recovery is largely dependent on the patient's overall health and the type of balloon used. After the procedure, the patient will be put on certain medicines to reduce stomach acid and protect the stomach. Patients with a history of stomach surgery should not undergo this procedure, as the risk of the balloon perforating the stomach is increased. The patient is encouraged to contact their physician if they experience any unusual symptoms, such as pain or nausea.

After having the balloon placed, patients may experience nausea and vomiting for a couple of days. This is a common reaction to a new implant, and patients may be given medications to reduce the symptoms. They are also advised to drink plenty of liquids to reduce the risk of dehydration.
