Weight Loss Surgery - Orbera Balloon

ORBERA® is a clinically proven, non-surgical approach to weight loss and is used at our practice as part of a comprehensive weight loss program involving regular, ongoing reviews with our specialist doctors, dietitians and psychologists to deliver maximum weight loss.



The Orbera® balloon was first approved for use and introduced into Australia in 2004 and was originally known as the “BIB”. It was the first effective gastric balloon and has the longest track record of any available gastric balloon. This balloon has been in use by this clinic since it was established, and more Orbera® balloons have been inserted by our doctors than any other clinic in Australia.

The soft, inflatable silicone balloon is placed in your stomach, without surgery, for the first six months of your weight loss program. The Orbera® helps to encourage good eating behaviours and portion control which are important skills you will use well after the balloon has been removed. Our team of weight loss specialists will work with you to guide and support you in learning to make these healthy lifestyle choices.
