Telehealth consultations available for bariatric surgery and general surgery
At Brisbane General & Obesity Surgery, we continually strive to provide the most effective, non-surgical weight loss solutions. As Australia’s Number One Allurion Gastric Balloon Clinic, we are proud to also offer both the BIB and Orbera 365 Balloon procedures to facilitate weight loss by promoting feelings of satiety, fullness and improving portion control.
The BIB Balloon and Orbera 365 Balloon are advanced gastric balloons designed to temporarily reside in the stomach for 6 or 12 months. These balloons are inserted either via endoscopy or sedation, ensuring a minimally invasive procedure. Once in place, they occupy space in the stomach and create a sensation of fullness. This naturally aids patients in reducing meal portions and curbing unnecessary snacking.
Depending on individual needs and the specific balloon used, they can remain in the stomach for either 6 or 12 months. This flexibility allows for tailored weight loss programs to suit various patient requirements. Interested in the BIB Balloon or Orbera Balloon in Brisbane? Contact our team today.
The core idea behind both the BIB balloon and Orbera 365 gastric balloon is space occupancy. By taking up a significant portion of the stomach’s volume, the balloons reduce its food-holding capacity. Patients feel fuller faster, leading to reduced food intake. Patients can lose 10-15% of their total body weight with this procedure which can lead to significant health improvements.
Whilst the gastric balloon is in place, it also provides a honeymoon period for patients to work with our supportive team to build positive and healthy lifestyle behaviors that will encourage maintenance of weight-loss, once the balloon has been removed.
With regular check-ups, our team will monitor your progress, ensuring optimal results and addressing any concerns that might arise.
With increasing awareness of non-surgical weight loss avenues, the BIB balloon and Orbera 365 gastric balloon are gaining popularity. Their efficacy, coupled with Dr. Wong and Dr Lim’s exceptional skill, makes Brisbane General & Obesity Surgery a trusted choice for these procedures.
