Before and After

The visual result

When pursuing a new body contouring treatment, it is natural to wonder what your results will look like. To help meet this important need, Athenix has compiled a robust library of before and after photographs for you to browse at your leisure. During your free consultation with the Orange County Athenix team, you will also have the chance to look at pictures with your doctor.

If you don’t immediately see your body type reflected in the photos, don’t hesitate to request additional ones. It’s always better to see outcomes that will be similar to your own. Athenix has assisted hundreds of gastric balloon patients from all walks of life to look and feel their very best. There may also be an opportunity to speak with former stomach balloon clients directly and hear about their treatment experience firsthand. This is something you can inquire about during your initial session with your physician.

"I feel great! It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life."

Marie lost 24 lbs.

Marie Brown is an interior designer from Georgia who lost 24lbs with ORBERA®. After losing eight pounds in the first week she continued to lose a steady two to three pounds weekly. Marie says she would highly recommend ORBERA® to anyone who is having trouble losing weight. She felt that she was unaware of the changes she was making at times, simply because she wasn’t hungry. It was a big deal to Marie that she wasn’t constantly hungry while she was changing her diet. Because of this, she felt it didn’t affect her on a daily basis like a diet or diet pills would. It just became a part of her lifestyle. Marie has no doubt that ORBERA® would work for everybody looking to lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle.

"I lost 30lbs with ORBERA® and kept the weight off for 5 years."

Andrew lost 30 lbs.

Andrew wasn't happy with himself. Andrew would look in the mirror and wonder if the day would ever come where he would feel comfortable in his own skin. Andrew believes trying ORBERA® was a changing point in his life. By his first follow-up appointment he had already lost his first 5lbs - and that was just the start. By the end of the first 6-months of his ORBERA® weight loss journey Andrew had lost 30lbs. His eating habits had changed and he felt a constant sense of accomplishment. Years ago he would just eat and eat until he felt overfull, but with the ORBERA® stomach balloon he realized that he had to change his eating habits. Between portion control and eating slowly, Andrew was able to change the way he ate. It has changed Andrew's life and he believes it can change yours too.

Holistic weight loss

Weight loss isn’t always all about how you look, however. Losing the extra pounds can really improve your mood, your energy levels, your desire to participate in sports, community events, your ability to play with your children, and your mental clarity on the job. These are the types of changes we cannot necessarily photograph, but they are evident in our successful gastric balloon clients nonetheless.

For this reason, Athenix Body Sculpting in the Orange County and Irvine area has created an integrated, holistic weight loss program that doesn’t just focus on the physical, but also includes the mental and emotional components of shedding the excess pounds.

Over the 12 months of treatments, you will learn not only such indispensible tools as portion control, which foods best support your health and how to prepare for food-intensive family get-togethers, but you will also receive personalize lifestyle coaching that includes learning how to enjoy exercising, how to set a goal and stick with it, and how to cope with the difficult emotions that sometimes cause us to overdo it at mealtimes.
