Weight loss in Katy, TX
Sustainable weight loss requires you to make permanent changes to your eating habits and making exercise part of your routine. It takes time, dedication, and a support system. We are here for you at Premier Gastroenterology. ORBERA® is a two-part weight loss program designed to help you to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
With a gastric balloon, you can jump-start your weight loss. Many patients lose 20 to 50 pounds within the first three months. In the initial balloon procedure, a gastric balloon is placed in your stomach, which shrinks your stomach and helps you learn portion control. Portion control will be key to your new relationship with food, and a gastric balloon helps your body start the transition. Your diet plan and exercise routine will start to become second nature to you as the balloon helps you over a period of six months.
Working toward your goal
In addition to practicing portion control, you'll be making healthy food choices and adding activity to your routine. The after-care program is equally important to meeting your weight loss goal. Your diet and exercise plan will be customized to your needs. It's a good idea to keep a weight loss journal to track your progress and share it with your doctor at follow-up visits. The balloon is removed after six months, and you continue to follow a diet and exercise plan for sustainable results.
