What are the benefits of ORBERA?

For over 20 years the ORBERA system has helped more than 220,000 people around the globe lose weight. On average, people lose 3x more weight with the ORBERA program than they do with traditional diet and exercise. As opposed to permanent surgical procedures, the ORBERA balloon is temporary and eliminates the need for incisions, stitches or scars.

The comprehensive ORBERA program has grown in popularity because it not only helps you lose weight quickly but also provides a support team to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle after the program is complete. Your ORBERA treatment team may include a dietician, fitness trainer, psychologist, and exercise psychologist.

For patients whose weight loss results in loose or excess skin, Dr. Ching offers several post weight loss body contouring procedures. These options include liposuction along with arm, thigh, and body lifts, tummy tucks, and breast procedures.

When will I see results?

People typically lose the most weight within the first 3 months after the balloon is inserted. With the help of the ORBERA support team, you will learn to adjust your eating and workout habits to maximize results. When your 12-month program is over, it is important to continue a healthy lifestyle so you can maintain weight loss and possibly lose additional weight. No other FDA-approved gastric balloon has shown more weight loss during U.S. clinical studies. Find out more about the ORBERA gastric balloon and weight loss system
