Well getting balloon out on Tuesday. What a roller coaster it's been I'm currently at 3 and a half stone lost so pleased with that. Found out today the op the surgeon wants to do is the gastric sleeve hopefully on 3rd July. Been to discuss pre op liver reducing diet wow that looks hard bug only for 14 days.

How is everyone doing xxx

Well done woody and the best of luck for July and your sleeve. I had the balloon in preparation for my RNY bypass nine months ago and it's been the best thing I have ever done I actually enjoyed my LSD as my time with the balloon was so very bland and unexciting that it was sheer heaven to taste simple things like spicy soups again even tomato soup was yum yum lol. I had no time to "lapse" between the balloon removal and my bypass either as the two weeks in-between was the LSD. My liver was apparently tip top fat free by the time I went under the knife

Hi! I hope that you do not mind my joining this conversation.
I had a gastric balloon insertion over one year ago and i would like to share my experience with fellow ballooners!

Hi! I was wondering if anyone had experienced any negative physical health since having a balloon inserted?
I had mine done in feb of last year and i vomited for 6 weeks and suffered hair loss and have since been diagnosed with spondylolisthesis due to the balloon being over filled when it was inserted.
Any help or advice would be appreciated

Hi kimlou, spondylolisthesis could not be caused by over filling of the balloon.
