Balloon Removed and Feelin' Fine! :-)
Dixie_Amazon replied to Wayward Traveler's topic in Gastric Balloon Forum
Thank you for the informative post! My one year goal is 50 pounds. I have lost 46 pounds in 46 months and am scheduled for removal tomorrow. -
Heavily considering balloon...but is it worth it? Why not just get a tummy tuck and/or lipo?
Dixie_Amazon replied to DHurd35's topic in Gastric Balloon Forum
I am getting Reshape balloon out tomorrow. I have lost 46 pounds. I am very pleased with my results. -
What kind of results are people getting...
Dixie_Amazon replied to Scottyd1264's topic in Gastric Balloon Forum
I am now down 30 pounds. Memorial day I started walking about 3/4 of a mile a day, I am now up to 2.25 miles per day. I am thrilled with my results. This is the lowest I have been in about 16 years! -
Bad food day and appetite decreasing...
Dixie_Amazon replied to Sailor Doom's topic in Gastric Balloon Forum
I am 6 weeks out and I still can't stomach coffee, regular or decaf. It triggers stomach spasms for me. -
If you do buy something new, look for pants with a drawstring.

Drinking during meals when you have a balloon?
Dixie_Amazon replied to Wayward Traveler's topic in Gastric Balloon Forum
I think it is about maximizing room for food. I try, but I cannot do it. I try to keep the sips small. -

Orbera Balloon Scheduled for 5/19 and I'm Freaking Out!
Dixie_Amazon replied to Esq123's topic in Gastric Balloon Forum
Laying on you left side helps sometimes. I slept in my recliner for a couple of nights. If OTC acid reflux reducers are not doing the job, do no hesitate to as for a prescription one like Protonix. -

Anyone have gastric balloon removed prior to 6 months?
Dixie_Amazon replied to Trixie S.'s topic in Gastric Balloon Forum
I had a sore throat for several days after my ReShape balloon was inserted. YMMV -
Orbera or Reshape balloon.. why did you pick one over the other?
Dixie_Amazon replied to michelleg46's topic in Gastric Balloon Forum
I selected the ReShape balloon because of the safety factor and that it is supposedly more comfortable in the long run. I had mine installed 04/28/2016. I am doing well but still in search of some energy. -
Annie Wilson's lapband what happened?
Dixie_Amazon replied to diva's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Discovery Health replayed Ann Wilson: From the Heart yesterday. Here is the discription: I think it was realeased in 2003 or 2004. Oddly it was not listed in the IMDb.
