Weight can be a lifelong struggle. Those who have exhausted their options for natural weight loss and still fallen short of their goals may benefit from Obalon, a truly unique, swallowable balloon system for losing weight. Obalon can lower your BMI with a simple capsule that increases feelings of fullness so you can achieve healthy weight loss in less time.
The medical professionals at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery specialize in health and wellness, including natural weight loss. Our team members prioritize patient education and will help you understand your best weight loss options before moving forward.
If you’d like to learn more about whether Obalon is right for you, please call 541-687-8900 or contact our office in Eugene today for more details or to schedule your consultation.
Before beginning your Obalon weight loss treatment, you’ll have a consultation with a member of our medical team. This is the best time to ask any questions you may have about the treatment and address any concerns.
During your consultation, you’ll be asked some questions to determine your candidacy for Obalon. The best candidates for Obalon include:
While Obalon can be an excellent treatment for aiding your natural weight loss efforts, the system is not designed to replace diet and exercise. Therefore, candidates should be completely committed to their weight loss regimen for the best results.
The Obalon System is not available to those who have had a prior weight loss surgery. You may be asked to stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners, while using Obalon.
The Obalon Balloon System is a revolutionary swallowable, FDA-approved treatment for weight loss that works by taking up room in your stomach. Your appointment itself should only take about 10 minutes, during which you will swallow a capsule that contains an Obalon balloon. Once in your stomach, the balloon will expand to a volume of 250 cubic centimeters. You should return to our office 3 to 4 weeks later to swallow a second capsule containing another balloon. Three to 4 weeks after that, you’ll take a third capsule for a total of 3 balloons.
Our medical team will also provide you with guidance for your weight loss journey. This may include nutrition or exercise advice to aid with your progress. Because your results depend highly on your own lifestyle commitments, it’s critical that you establish healthy eating habits and a regular exercise routine.
The Obalon Balloon System requires no surgery or anesthesia, so there is no downtime involved. You may experience some abdominal discomfort or nausea, which should gradually fade. You may resume your normal routine right away, including exercise.
Six months after your first balloon was placed, all balloons should be removed. Removal is a quick, 15-minute endoscopic procedure under light sedation, and is performed by a GI at their facility.
