Discover the Value of Orbera: A Non-Surgical Option for Weight Loss
Sometimes, weight loss can become a challenge, even with eating healthy meals and exercise routines. If desired weight loss hasn't happened, the Orbera weight loss system can provide an added boost. This non-surgical, FDA-approved therapy helps reduce calorie intake and supports long-term weight loss maintenance. Drs. Azeem Khan, Seyed Ali Khalessi Hosseini, and Dayna Panchal at Forest Hills Gastroenterology offer this option at Forest Hills, Hollis, and Elmhurst, NY.
How Orbera Functions
Orbera uses a gastric balloon to help control portion sizes and promote healthier eating habits. In a quick, 20- to 30-minute procedure, an endoscopic method inserts a deflated balloon into your stomach. Once in position, the balloon is filled with saline, reducing available stomach space so you feel full sooner and eat less, leading to natural weight loss.
The procedure is performed under mild sedation and requires no overnight hospital stay. The balloon remains in the stomach for six months, and ongoing nutritional coaching helps establish lasting, healthy habits.
What Makes Orbera a Popular Option?
Patients choose Orbera for several reasons, including:
- Non-surgical – No incisions or sutures required.
- Safe and FDA-approved – Backed by 20+ years of research and used in 80+ countries worldwide.
- Effective – Helps patients lose three times more weight than diet and exercise alone.
- Comprehensive – Includes six months of expert nutritional coaching to support long-term success.
Are You a Fit for Orbera?
Orbera is designed for adults with a BMI between 30 and 40 who have not succeeded with conventional weight-loss methods. A consultation with a gastroenterologist will help determine if this approach is right for you.
