Once the BIB® – Orbera® is inside your stomach, it is immediately filled with sterile saline through a small filling tube (catheter) attached to the BIB® – Orbera®. Once filled, your physician will remove the catheter by gently pulling on the external end. The BIB® – Orbera® has a self-sealing valve, and at this point the BIB® – Orbera® is floating freely in your stomach. Placement times vary, but it will usually take 20-30 minutes, after which you will be monitored by the weight loss physician for a short time and then may return home.
