Continue reading to see if you are able to keep the weight off after removing the Orbera balloon. Contact AGH of Greater Washington to learn more about our 12-month Orbera weight loss program.

What is the Orbera Balloon?

The Orbera balloon is a small, soft saline-filled balloon that is about the size of a small grapefruit. It is placed in your stomach through a non-surgical 20-minute procedure. This balloon works to curb your appetite in order to retrain your brain to anticipate when your stomach is getting full. Contact AGH of Greater Washington to learn more about the Orbera balloon. 

Supervision by Physicians, Physiologists, & Nutritionists

Throughout the 12-month journey, you will be continually coached and in constant contact with physicians, your personal trainer, physiologists, and nutritionists. During this time, you will be prescribed a diet and exercise plan that’s tailored to you. These plans are designed to help you keep the weight off during the period of having the Orbera balloon in your stomach, as well as after it has been removed.

Following the Exercise and Diet Plans

In order to keep the weight off once the Orbera balloon has been removed, you will need to strictly follow the tailored diet and exercise plan. For six months after the balloon is removed, our team will still help you with your plan of portioning, exercising and more. If you don’t continually follow your diet and exercise plan, you will undoubtedly gain the weight back after the balloon is removed.

Hold Yourself Accountable

You will gain back all the weight you have lost if you don’t hold yourself accountable once the Orbera balloon has been removed. Every day you need to make smarter choices to live a healthier lifestyle and maintain a healthy weight, and the Orbera balloon was only the beginning. Losing weight can be difficult, but with Orbera, you will have a head start. Keep yourself accountable so you can keep the weight off for good. 

If you are able to hold yourself accountable and continually follow your personalized diet and exercise plan, you will be able to keep the weight off once the Orbera balloon has been removed. Not following your plans will undoubtedly lead to weight gain. Contact AGH of Greater Washington if you are interested in starting the Orbera weight loss program.
