Asked By:Labella1974 in Oldsmar, Florida

I am 46 years old, 5'6 ft tall, and weigh 235 lbs; I have had high blood pressure recently, which I know is because of my weight gain. I weighed in the past around 210 - 214, but I am now my heaviest in past two years. Will I be a good candidate for the Gastric Balloon? I don't want my stomach cut in half.
