​

What Is the Orbera Gastric Balloon?

Orbera is a fluid-filled intragastric balloon designed to temporarily occupy space within the stomach.

Unlike bariatric surgery, the procedure does not permanently change the anatomy of the stomach.

The deflated balloon is introduced into the stomach through the mouth using an endoscope. Once its position is confirmed, it is filled with saline.

The presence of the balloon can help patients feel full sooner and make portion control easier.

 

What Is ORBERA365?

ORBERA365 is a version of the Orbera system designed for a longer treatment period of up to 12 months.

This is different from the classic six-month Orbera system used in some countries and regulatory markets.

The longer treatment period provides additional time for patients to work on:

• Portion control

• Food selection

• Eating speed

• Exercise habits

• Long-term weight management strategies

The balloon must still be removed at the end of the recommended treatment period.

 

How Is Orbera Placed?

Medical Assessment

Before treatment, your medical history and suitability for an intragastric balloon are evaluated.

Endoscopic Placement

The balloon is passed through the mouth into the stomach with the assistance of an endoscope.

Balloon Filling

After correct positioning, the balloon is filled with saline.

Recovery

The procedure is performed under sedation. Patients are monitored after treatment before being discharged.

Hospital admission is usually not required for uncomplicated cases.

 

Does Orbera Require Surgery?

No.

Orbera is an endoscopic treatment rather than a surgical operation.

There are no abdominal incisions and no permanent surgical alteration of the stomach.

However, endoscopy and sedation are medical procedures and have their own potential risks.

 

How Long Does ORBERA365 Stay in the Stomach?

ORBERA365 is designed for a treatment period of up to 12 months.

The balloon should not simply be left indefinitely.

Removal must be scheduled according to the treatment protocol and the doctor's recommendation.

 

How Is the Orbera Balloon Removed?

Orbera requires endoscopic removal.

During the removal procedure, the fluid is removed from the balloon before the deflated device is taken out through the mouth.

Sedation is generally used.

Our ORBERA365 package includes the scheduled balloon removal procedure.

 

How Much Weight Can You Lose With Orbera?

Weight loss differs significantly between patients.

Clinical studies of intragastric balloon treatment show that patients can achieve meaningful total body weight loss when balloon therapy is combined with structured dietary and behavioral changes.

Factors that influence results include:

• Starting BMI

• Starting body weight

• Diet

• Physical activity

• Metabolic health

• Treatment duration

• Follow-up

• Adherence to the weight management program

A gastric balloon does not guarantee a specific number of kilograms lost.

 

Who Is a Good Candidate for Orbera?

Orbera may be considered for adults who:

• Need medical support with weight loss

• Have been unsuccessful with diet and exercise alone

• Prefer a temporary treatment rather than bariatric surgery

• Are comfortable with endoscopic placement and removal

• Want a longer period of gastric balloon support

• Are willing to make dietary and behavioral changes

The doctor must determine final eligibility.

 

Orbera Side Effects

The first few days after placement are usually the main adaptation period.

Possible temporary symptoms include:

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Stomach cramps

• Abdominal discomfort

• Acid reflux

• Reduced appetite

Less common but potentially serious complications can occur with intragastric balloons, which is why patients need clear instructions regarding symptoms that require urgent medical assessment.

Persistent severe abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, significant abdominal swelling or other unusual symptoms should not be ignored.

 

Orbera Diet and Lifestyle Program

The balloon works best when used as part of a structured weight management program.

Patients receive nutritional guidance to help transition from the initial post-placement diet to sustainable long-term eating habits.

The objective is to use the treatment period to create habits that can continue after the balloon is removed.

 

Orbera vs Allurion

Orbera and Allurion both occupy space inside the stomach, but the treatment experience is different.

Allurion is swallowed and is designed to remain for approximately four months before passing naturally.

ORBERA365 is placed endoscopically, remains for up to 12 months and requires endoscopic removal.

Allurion may appeal more to patients wanting to avoid routine endoscopy.

ORBERA365 may appeal more to patients who want a longer treatment period.

 

Orbera vs Spatz

Both ORBERA365 and Spatz can provide longer-term gastric balloon treatment outside the United States.

The key difference is that Spatz is adjustable.

The volume of the Spatz3 balloon can be modified during treatment when medically indicated, while Orbera is a non-adjustable balloon.

For some patients, simplicity may favor Orbera. For others, adjustability may favor Spatz.

The doctor should determine which system is more appropriate.

 

Why Have Orbera in Istanbul?

Turkey is a major destination for international medical treatment, allowing gastric balloon patients to combine their procedure, accommodation, transfers and follow-up support within one organized trip.

Our team assists international patients before arrival, during treatment and after returning home.
