How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Balloon was out a week ago!!
The balloon removal took 9 minutes. It was easier to breathe and so my exercise program can go a bit harder and longer now. Still not hungry and very careful to not fall back into old habits. We leave on a walking tour of Germany soon, so that will be much easier 60 pounds lighter! I'll still be seeing nutricianist for 6 months.
Balloon out next week!
Well the balloon comes out next week, and of course the hard work comes at keeping weight off. I have 6 more months with a nutritionist, so I'll concentrate on 1400 calories a day to keep off the 60 pounds I lost. I am taking a plastic bag so I can keep the balloon when it comes out. It'll be a conversation starter, later....
Orbera out in 4 weeks
Well it has been 5 months and I have lost 57 pounds. Key is tracking calories, carbs under 80 grams a day, protein at about 90 grams. I could keep up swimming laps almost everday on about 1000 calories. Working with the nutritionist to figure out the maintenance plan once the balloon is out.
Provider Review
Dr Higa is funny and friendly. I was his first Orbera patient.
