Hey, feel free to ask whatever you need; I went through the balloon procedure myself, too.

Gastric balloon experience: Any thoughts?
in Health ·
Hi everyone, I wanted to start by saying thanks for all the helpful advice on this forum. I actually had my balloon procedure done about three weeks ago, and while I’m honestly questioning if I’d ever subject myself to that whole ordeal again, I’m praying the results make it worth it. I've already dropped 9 kg in these first three weeks. That said, after dealing with five straight days of constant nausea, I ended up hitting up a local Jack in the Box for a few days just to cope, but once I tried eating anything grilled, the pain was so intense I felt like banging my head against the wall. It was absolutely brutal. Now, I can't tell if it's pure anxiety or genuine hunger, but I find myself eating almost nothing at all during the day. For those of you who have been through this longer than I have, could you please share an example of what a typical daily meal plan looks like? I am completely out of ideas.
Also, is it necessary to stay on top of any specific vitamins or minerals??
BIG KISSES TO ALL

Hi,
I figured I’d jump into this conversation since I’m also getting my ducks in a row for the big weight loss journey! To be honest, I’m actually looking for some guidance here; when I was chatting with my nurse about potential side effects, she mentioned the possibility of a gastric perforation—and even though she noted it’s a tiny 0.19% statistical chance, it absolutely terrified me. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I’d really appreciate it if those of you with actual experience could weigh in and tell me if this is something I should truly be losing sleep over.
