I have had one patient complain about feeling the balloon while running. I suspected that the patient might have been running too vigorously. When the patient slowed the pace, the issue was resolved.
The first day post placement, most people can return to their routine activities. The biggest complaint, save some nausea treated with medications, is a lack of energy. Medically, their is no reason not to exercise, however, my patients are on clear liquids only for the first few days and have a dramatic drop in caloric intake. I have never had a patient complain of feeling the balloon move.
