Hi thank you so much for responding, I'm so happy to hear your doing somewhat well, I'm sure its an adjustment in so many ways, I did look into the Orbera balloon, that was my first choice; Dr. Feltchen at MN gastro does it for 7500, there was a lot of discussion about the nausea after. I'm a 5.2 and 185 p, BMI 35, 48th year old its been a struggle for me for over 11 years, and I have tried everything and I mean everything, after my research I think the endoscopic sleeve would be a better long term choice , but I'm meeting the Mayo doctors on April 18th so I'm hoping to know more . could I ask what made you change your mind and go with the orbera? I hope you are having a great day today and thank you so much for your honest communication I really appreciate it

Hi I'm meeting with the Mayo clinic on April 18th to see if the Endoscopic Sleeve is for me. I'm meeting with the endocrinologist etc. Is there anyone one the procedure that like to share how they are doing, feeling, weight loss, etc. I know the mayo conducted a trail in 2014 with about 35 people and I would love to hear if the weight loss is stable if there is any issues after 6 months? a 1year or 2? etc. I see that some insurance companies have covered for this surgery, I'm calling my insurance company on Monday to see what they can do, I have BCBS in Minnesota . love t hear from anyone how they are doing I wish everyone the best of luck and success
