ORBERA balloon care from a board-certified bariatric surgeon who places it, removes it and stays reachable by text for all six months.
A gastric balloon takes up part of your stomach so meals end sooner and smaller portions feel like enough.
We use the ORBERA balloon. Dr. K guides it down through the mouth on a thin endoscope while you are sedated, then fills it with sterile saline. Nothing is cut or stapled.
The balloon is a tool for a set period, not a permanent change. While it is in, you practice eating smaller meals with support from our team, and that pattern is what carries on after removal.
With less open space in the stomach, hunger settles on smaller plates.
Food follows its usual route, and your stomach keeps its natural shape.
The balloon comes out on schedule. The eating habits stay with you.
The balloon is designed for adults with obesity who want structured help without surgery. It tends to fit people who:

Under sedation, Dr. K places the balloon and fills it with saline.
Liquids come first, then soft foods, then small meals as your stomach settles.

Some patients do well with the balloon alone. Others pair it with medication or nutrition coaching, or move on to a longer-lasting procedure after removal. Dr. K builds the plan around your health and goals, and the clip shows how he thinks about combining treatments.
Dr. Reza Keshavarzi, known to patients as Dr. K, is a board-certified bariatric surgeon and our lead surgeon. His daily work spans the ORBERA balloon, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, gastric sleeve and gastric bypass, along with the medical weight loss program he oversees.
That range matters on a balloon plan. If your results point toward a different tool later, you do not start over with a new doctor.
Getting the balloon implanted was the best decision, but finding a doctor with such high human and professional qualities as Dr. Reza Keshavarzi was definitely the best.Loren P.Gastric balloon patient, Google review translated from Spanish

Straight answers to what Coral Springs patients ask most before their first visit.
The ORBERA balloon stays in for about six months and is then removed the same way it was placed, through the mouth with an endoscope. Most of the early weight change comes in the first months, and the remaining time is for making the new eating pattern feel normal before removal.
The balloon is temporary. Once it comes out, your stomach holds what it held before, so the weight you keep depends on the habits you built while it was in. That is why our program centers on personalized diet plans and follow-up, and why Dr. K talks through longer-term options before you start.
Your price depends on your treatment plan, so Dr. K gives you an exact figure at your consultation. Financing through Cherry offers 0% interest for 24 months, with monthly payments as low as $320, and debit or credit cards cover any remaining balance.
You can book a consultation with Dr. K directly from this page. He reviews your health and weight history himself and tells you whether the balloon, another procedure or medical weight loss fits.
Your consultation, balloon placement and removal are with Dr. K. Required tests can be done at our office or at an outside facility you choose, and between visits our team answers questions and shares documents by text.
Yes, if it suits you. Dr. K also performs endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, the Low BMI Mini Sleeve, gastric sleeve and gastric bypass, so the next step stays with the surgeon who already knows your history.
Leave your consultation knowing whether the balloon fits, what your plan costs and how to reach your surgeon.
