Having trouble losing weight on your own? We can help.
We hear all the time that if you eat healthy and exercise regularly you’ll lose weight; however, we know that it’s not that black and white. Many factors, including genetics, can play a role in whether you can actually lose weight. If you find yourself struggling to drop the pounds despite a healthy lifestyle, our Katy, TX, gastroenterologist Dr. Kevin Marks offers medical weight loss options to help you finally see results.
Why should I turn to a gastroenterologist?
Our Katy, TX, gastroenterologist Dr. Marks prevents, diagnoses and treats conditions that impact the digestive tract, from the esophagus to the liver and intestines. Our gastroenterologist also specializes in bariatric medicine, which helps obese and overweight individuals lose weight safely and effectively.
How can we help you lose weight?
While we will certainly help you lose weight through lifestyle changes, we also understand that when these methods aren’t working, you need something more effective that will provide you with results. This is when many individuals turn to us for the Orbera non-surgical weight loss balloon.
What is the Orbera weight loss balloon?
The Orbera is a silicone gastric balloon that is temporarily placed and inflated in the stomach to fill up a portion of the stomach to keep you feeling full faster, which prevents you from overeating. The Orbera weight loss balloon is ideal for obese individuals who have a BMI of 30-40, and because this is supervised by our medical team, we ensure a safe weight loss experience under the watchful eye of our specialists. The process itself only takes 20 minutes and the balloon stays in the stomach for up to six months before its removed.
We know that weight loss isn’t always easy, but our Katy, TX, gastroenterologist Dr. Marks and the team at Premier Gastroenterology have helped patients successfully lose weight and keep it off, whether through a proper nutrition plan tailored to their needs or the Orbera weight loss procedure.
