Exercise after gastric balloon and risks?

Sensible204633
Hi, I am a 28 year old female in good health with a few 20-30 pounds overweight. I have a gastric balloon placement appointment set up this week. I am having fears as to when can I start my usual HIIT workouts (with weights) and 5Ks. I am also fearful of a risk of gastric perforation or bowel obstruction. Any advice, recommendations by a licensed MD are appreciated. Thank you
