dont waste your money on the balloon ether you will be sick most of the time or it wont work i had it done and i wish i hadnt wasted my money or time i lost 20 lbs and that was the first month and that was it. if i was you i would look into vsg surgery , thats what i am doing now after i waisted 8k on the balloon

looking at getting sleeved in march 2018, i have to have 3 nutritionist visits did the first one today i am looking for other lower bmi people im right at the cut off of 35 with 1co morbidity of HTN I had the gastric balloon and that was a waist of time and money yes i lost 20 lbs but that was in the first month after placement. i really wanted to do gastric sleeve instead of the the balloon but my husband wasn't to happy about that decision he is in the medical field and doesn't think i need gastric sleeve but its hard to lose and keep off at any weight. and i am so sick and tired of always being on a damn diet. so anyone who had or is gonna have VSG with a lower bmi lets chat.

i had the balloon in may 2017 because my husband was against VSG at first but only lost 20 lbs . i will be having gastric sleeve hopefully in march 2018 the balloon was a total waste of time and money.

mainly problems with people who have surgery in mexico and since i was looking into mexico at first he was like NO WAY and so i talked to the surgeon who did my balloon and finding out that the requirements for our insurance company are not too bad he is more accepting of my decision.

my husband is an emergency medicine physician assistant and was a primary care PAC before that and had seen so many bad out comes from gastric bypass patients but he is willing to accept my decision since reading up on VGS.

your doing so good, i cant wait to be done with the surgery so i can just get on with my life.

hi everyone i am considering vsg i dont know if i want to deal with all the hoops and time that i am sure my insurance company is gonna try and put me through to get approved when i can get it done in mexico for 5k has anyone had a bad experience in mexico from everything have read so far on here everyone says what a good experience they had i have aways said i would never go to mexico for a medical procedure. my husband is in the medical filed and is not happy about me even considering mexico.

i have blue shield of california and it does cover gastric sleeve with prior auth does anyone have any ideal what they would want me to do to get me approved

I had the balloon in may 2017 had no side effects but i only lost 20 lbs and paid 7900.00 i wish i had just skipped the ballon and gotten gastric sleeve you will gain the weight right back
