I am a 59yr old woman wanting to jump start my weight loss, I lost 130lbs kept it off for 12 years with just dieting.I want to jump start the process again, but do not want to have a major surgical procedure, I am interested in the gastric balloon for my jump start. I have seen some guidelines in my research that says this is a weight loss device for those not needing to lose a significant amount of weight, but for me I am looking to do the least invasive procedure to get me to my goal.Thanks .

Answer: BMI of 39 and balloon to lose 80 pounds I think the key component of your question is to jump start your weight loss. You have proven yourself that you can lose weight and keep it off. With the balloon, expect to lose 30-40 pounds, but you can also add specific diet to it that will allow you to lose more. The balloon will help you get started, motivate you as you start losing the weight, and help you change your mind to one that will push you to lose the weight and keep it off. Best wishes

Answer: Balloon for 80lbs weight loss Losing 80 lbs with the balloon is possible if you put significant effort. If you do the minimal work those 8K dollars wont give you 80 lbs of weight loss.A sleeve or a bypass is your best bet but you still need to exercise and follow a diet. Surgery or the balloon are only tools to help you achieve your goals... You still need to do the work.\I will not recommend a Lap band.
