Answer: Orbera Unfortunately at this time no insurance policy cover that Gastric Balloon. It's done as outpatient, but you need to come back in 6 months for removal. Currently we have a special price of $6,000.00 for patients living outside our state.

Answer: Gastric Balloon The gastric balloon is not covered by insurance at this time. It is an outpatient procedure so you go home the same day. Generally, patients are on liquids/protein shakes the first week, then advance as tolerates. The diet afterwards is similar to gastric bypass or gastric sleeve where patients focus on proper nutrition with the least amount of calories.
