    Thanks for the info- if you read the article they aren't sure for the reasoning for the deaths. I am a pharmaceutical rep and understand the risks versus benefits. So thanks for the info however there is a huge risk with obsecity as there is with a procedure it's how you use the tool in a safe manner. If you think there are no risks you are doing it for the wrong reason - also why you use a gi instead of a surgeon that doesn't do endoscopes

    Did you complete the full year of nutritional training and work with them to determine exercise routines and stuff? Based on the information I have learned from my research is that it is just a tool to create a lifestyle change and that it's not easy but the guidance from the doctors and nutritionists is to guide along the way.
  7. Hey all! I'm really excited to have my balloon place on 8/31. I have previously had some success with saxenda but couldn't keep off the weight long term. My doctor is including 8 sessions with her & 12 sessions with a nutritionist that will go over my diet and measure my weight, hopefully inches lost and body fat % change. I hope that with the nutritionist and the doctors visit I will stay focused and make life style changes that will become second nature at the end of the 1 year journey. I'm 30 years old and ready for the change!! How has everyone's journey been going?
