¿What is the Gastric Balloon?
The Orbera™ Gastric Balloon treatment for weight loss begins with the placement of a flexible silicone Gastric Balloon.
The balloon is temporarily inserted into the stomach, by endoscopy, without surgery and will create the feeling of early and prolonged satiety after meals: this is the start for your weight loss treatment.
Despite being a simple procedure, without cuts and without surgery, the Orbera™ Gastric Balloon system is a medical treatment for temporary use (for 6 months or 1 year).
Its goal is to reduce weight in overweight and obese patients, from 8 kg to 30 kg or more if bariatric surgery is not desired.
The Gastric Balloon is removed after 6 months or 1 year by endoscopy using deep sedation.
The Gastric Balloon treatment is accompanied by the Grupo de Obesidad® of the Clínica Medellín, specialists who will help you regain good eating habits and change your lifestyle.
The specialists who will accompany you during the treatment are: Nutritionist, Sports Specialist, Psychologist, Psychiatrist, Internist and Endoscopist. This group of specialists are in the city of Medellín – Colombia.
This weight loss treatment with the Gastric Balloon is very safe and effective and will not only help you lose weight due to gastric restriction, but also gives you the opportunity to sustain weight loss over time due to the changes made in your lifestyle with the help of the Multidisciplinary Group.
The Orbera™ Gastric Balloon is approved by Invima in Colombia and by the FDA in the United States. It is also approved in Europe and Latin America.
