Answer: Who should not have the Gastric balloon? The following conditions are not advisable for an intra-gastric balloon: Previous gastric surgery (includes any anti-reflux operation).Hiatus hernia 5 cm in size or greater.Significant coagulation disorder (blood clotting).Potentially bleeding lesion of the upper gastrointestinal tract.Pregnancy or desire to become pregnant, and breast-feeding.Alcoholism or drug addiction or significant mental health problems.Severe liver disease.Any medical / clinical reasons so you are unable to tolerate / undergo an endoscopy. However there is no contradiction to get a gastric balloon after muscle repair
