I'm 33 5'1 and 290 pounds I'm very overweight and am seriously considering weightless surgery. I want to weigh between 120 to 140 because I'm short so that means I'd like to loose around 160 pounds or more. What will be better gastric sleeve or gastric balloon? How much weight can you loose with the balloon? I'm kind of scared of anything invasive but don't know what other options are ok
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.
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
Im 5 2 175 lbs and am trying to get back to my usual self 125-130.need to lose 50lbs.im scheduled for lipo this week but since lipo isnt for weight loss is it a good idea to also get the intergastric balloon for the weight loss or what are some suggestions?
I am 5'1 and weigh 135 lbs about a BMI of 27. I have been yo-yoeing my whole life and have even had lipo but just gained it all back and then some. I feel like i have tried absolutely everything and nothing has helped. Now im looking to do something proactive again. what surgery would you recommend to lose 25 to 30 lbs? i dont want to do something dangerous. Thank you
I had a gastric balloon fitted 4 months ago. I am 5ft 1 and weighed 13 stone and I now weigh 9st 9lb and have two months left before removal. I have been eating small portions but healthy with the occasional treat and excercise which isn't too regular just when I have time. In the last half a stone weight loss I can see the ballon and put my hand around the shape at times. The balloon moves depending on how I am sitting. I never noticed before is this normal?
