Transform Bariatrics in Greenbelt, MD offers the Orbera Gastric Balloon to jumpstart weight loss safely and effectively without surgery.

At Transform Bariatrics and Aesthetics, the Orbera Gastric Balloon provides a minimally invasive approach to help patients achieve significant weight loss. Designed for individuals struggling with diet and exercise alone, this treatment offers a temporary, non-surgical tool to reduce hunger, control portion sizes, and jumpstart a healthier lifestyle.

What Is Orbera Gastric Balloon?

The Orbera Gastric Balloon is a soft, saline-filled balloon temporarily placed in the stomach to reduce food intake and promote portion control. The procedure is performed endoscopically, requiring no surgery, and is removed after six months once lifestyle changes are established.

How the Orbera Gastric Balloon Works

  • A deflated balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth using an endoscope.
  • Once in place, the balloon is filled with sterile saline, partially occupying the stomach.
  • Patients feel fuller faster, helping to reduce caloric intake naturally.
  • Combined with a medically supervised diet and lifestyle program to maximize long-term results.

Who Can Benefit from the Orbera Gastric Balloon

Orbera Gastric Balloon is ideal for adults seeking weight loss who may not qualify for surgery or prefer a temporary, non-invasive solution.

  • Obesity with a BMI of 30–40
  • Difficulty losing weight through diet and exercise alone
  • Need for a non-surgical, temporary weight management solution
  • Patients seeking to jumpstart lifestyle changes for long-term health
