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

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

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.

Insurance companies want to save money and nothing else. They're definitely not protecting patients. If they only wanted to protect patients the whole process would be different, e. g. you would have to go to certain classes and appointments and after a waiting period of e. g. 6 months you would be guaranteed to get the procedure if you still want it.

Well I am almost 6 months out from surgery. I am 159 lbs and my goal weight is 150 lbs. I am posting updated pics just so you can see my progress. Good luck to everyone that's still working hard , including myself . First pic in black dress I wa 242 and on left side I was one week out of surgery . The other pics are recent pics of myself.

Are you having a hiatal hernia repair too? I am and the recovery eating is the same as our food plan. So my thoughts are I will still be on puree at Thanksgiving (and smaller which can be explained by not being able to eat solids since my hernia surgery). Then come Christmas I can say that I am eating smaller portions because it still bothers me and I want to keep the weight that I loss off from the surgery. It is a shame I plotted it out this far....... I just don;t want to ruin Christmas!!! lol
