Understanding the ORBERAÒ Procedure

The small balloon, made of soft silicone and filled with saline, is endoscopically placed into your stomach for six months through a simple, non-surgical 30-minute procedure. While in the stomach, the balloon occupies space, which will help you control portion sizes and lose weight. Two office visits follow balloon placement. Then, the balloon is removed endoscopically.
