Orbera Gastric Balloon System at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery

For many people, the weight loss journey leaves them with little support or options in the gap between diet and exercise on one hand and invasive surgery on the other. By filling this gap in available treatments for obesity, the ORBERA™ Intragastric Balloon is an exciting development for people who are seeking to reach their long-term weight loss goals with less-invasive bariatric surgery options.

Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery is now offering the gastric balloon as a nonsurgical weight loss solution for men and women who struggle with excess pounds. This comprehensive, two-part program consists of the FDA-approved gastric balloon used in conjunction with a long-term supervised diet and support program. After 7 months with the ORBERA™ Managed Weight Loss System, people using the gastric balloon lost an average of more than three times the weight lost by patients who tried dieting and exercise alone.
