Why Gastric Balloons Are Considered the Future of Weight Loss

Obesity rates continue to climb, despite the billions of dollars Americans spend each year on efforts to lose weight. People try everything from gym memberships and weight loss supplements to food delivery services and other products. If you’ve tried everything and are ready for an effective weight loss solution, find out why gastric balloons are paving the way as the future of weight loss.

The many benefits of weight loss

Carrying excess body fat impacts not only the way you feel on a day-to-day basis, but your overall health and how well you function. When you lose weight by choosing a gastric balloon system, you can expect:

  • Increased self-esteem
  • Decreased risk of chronic disease
  • Improved fitness
  • More energy
  • More active social life
  • Better sleep
  • Improved body image
  • Better sex life
  • Boost in mood

Gastric balloons: The future is now

As a board-certified bariatric surgeon and weight loss specialist, Dr. Dyslin offers patients who are struggling with their weight the latest advancements in treatment. In the past, patients had fewer nonsurgical options for effective weight loss.

Today, gastric balloons bridge the gap between permanent surgical procedures and traditional diet and exercise, providing patients with a safe, effective, noninvasive way to lose weight.

Gastric balloons in action

Dr. Dyslin uses the ORBERA® gastric balloon system. The silicone balloon is threaded into your stomach through your mouth while you relax under a mild sedative. The balloon stays in place for six months. During that time, you’re able to stick to a healthier diet, without feeling hungry, to help you lose a significant amount of weight.

The future of weight loss

The ability to lose a dramatic amount of weight over a six-month period without surgery or scars makes gastric balloons like ORBERA the future of weight loss.

Surgical weight loss strategies are only available if a patient has a high body mass index (BMI). But the availability of gastric balloons for people with lower BMIs means patients can undergo treatment sooner, before excess weight has a devastating impact on their bodies.

People who undergo weight loss treatment at a lower BMI are much more successful at getting their BMIs below 30.

Gastric balloons offer a multitude of benefits. They are:

Fast

Gastric balloon systems are quick and require no downtime. Dr. Dyslin completes the balloon insertion in about 20 minutes.

Noninvasive

You lie comfortably under mild sedation during the 20-minute procedure and go home the same day. You won’t have to worry about surgery or the potential complications that come along with surgical procedures.

Reversible

The balloon system requires no permanent changes to your digestive system. Dr. Dyslin can remove the balloon at any time.

Incision free

There’s no cutting involved, as the balloon is inserted through the mouth.

Real results

Hunger is one of the major factors that make it difficult to develop healthier eating habits and lose a meaningful amount of weight. Once it’s filled with saline the ORBERA balloon is about the size of an orange taking up space in your stomach. Without having to deal with the constant hunger, the typical patient loses three times more weight with ORBERA than with diet and exercise alone.
