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?

I appreciate your advice - thanks!

Orbera - did you do obalon? I will be put under for my procedure

Orbera, I'm being sedated. Procedure done from a gi doctor. Did you obalon?

I'm Not doing the capsule balloon, I have definitely read reviews of people that that the full team (work out nutrition and medical) and they have done well. I'm sorry for your experience

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.
