I had the Orbera 365 inserted 2 weeks ago. In the first week I lost 3 pounds and this week I haven’t lost anything at all. Is this normal? I am eating around 800 calories and walking 30 mins a day. Has anyone else had the same experience? Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I am starting to think the pains I am getting are from acid as I am getting them constantly even after immediately eating so I cannot be hungry. I do take a PPI twice a day. Hopefully it will settle. the reason I chose the balloon is because it’s not permanent. Around 15 years ago I lost 6 stone through diet and exercise and kept it off for over 10 years. Just before Covid I broke my foot badly and was in a boot for a year and it all went back on. I’m struggling to get motivated and also menopausal so struggling to lose anything. Thought the balloon would give me the kickstart i desperately need.

Thanks for your replies. I have now lost a couple of pounds but now have a new problem. For the past few days I have been incredibly hungry and nothing is filling me up. I am really concerned that the balloon has ruptured. Anyone else had this experience? Is this normal? I am so worried!
