If I told you that you could swallow a balloon and safely lose 50 lbs. in 6 months would you do it? No expensive surgery. No risky side effects. No fad diets or pills.<\/p>\n

I think most people would.<\/p>\n

Good news\u2014it actually exists. Obalon Balloon System<\/a> (also known as the \"Balloon Pill\") is the FIRST and ONLY swallowable, FDA approved weight loss balloon. And it's been proven to help patients safely lose 2 times the amount of weight than they would with diet and exercise alone, and keep it off. That's why I am so excited to announce that we've added the Obalon Balloon System, one of the safest weight loss devices I've ever seen, to the treatments and procedures we currently offer my weight loss patients.<\/p>\n

There is hope!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Many patients come to me after a long journey of trial and error with weight loss, failed diets and exercise regimes, yo-yo dieting, and a lot of frustration. Anyone that\u2019s struggled with their weight knows\u2014losing weight is hard! If you are at least 22 years old, have a BMI of 30-40% (30-100 lbs. overweight), you have no history of abdominal surgery, and other methods of weight loss have failed\u2014Obalon might be perfect for you.<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Obalon Treatment:<\/strong><\/a> Three lightweight balloons are placed in your stomach over the course of six months (on day 1, at 3 weeks and at 9 weeks).<\/p>\n
