At Triborough GI we know that being overweight can put a toll on your body. You know that, but you might not realize how much your weight can negatively impact your health. The risks of being obese, or overweight, are high and can lead to these serious conditions:
Knowing these facts might not make it easier for you to shed those extra pounds. After all, to make serious changes, most people need motivation. And now, thanks to a new and innovative procedure, you’ll finally have that motivation.
Orbera® makes losing dramatic amounts of weight in a short period of time possible, and it’s all without invasive surgery. Our doctors at Triborough GI offer this nonsurgical weight-loss treatment to their patients, and they have seen great and long-lasting results. Do you want to lose weight and keep it off? Orbera® might be the answer.
Orbera® is an FDA-approved balloon weight loss system. It helps you learn portion control and healthy eating habits while not requiring invasive surgery. With this system, patients can lose up to three times the amount of weight they would lose with diet and exercise alone.
This outpatient procedure only takes about 20 minutes. To start, we’ll mildly sedate you to ensure you’re comfortable. The Dr at Triborough GI will then insert a deflated gastric balloon through your esophagus, into your stomach. Then, he’ll use a syringe to fill the balloon with sterile saline until it’s about the size of a grapefruit.
For the next six months, the balloon remains in your stomach. The space it takes up reduces the amount of food you can eat, which trains your brain to know when your stomach is full, so you won’t overeat.
