What Exactly is the Obalon Balloon?

The Obalon Balloon System is the very first and only swallowable, FDA-approved balloon system for weight loss.

The non-surgical treatment will be comprised of three lightweight balloons. These balloons are placed gradually over a period of three months.

The Obalon balloons will occupy space in a person’s stomach. This allows for a person to eat less, making weight loss easier.

Of note, the Obalon Balloon System is a 6-month treatment.
