Just had Allurion Ballloon placement today

So, I am now 50 , mom of 2 kids with caesarion due to hypertension, gall bladder surgery and appendix removal. I have a BMI of 28. I was not sure to be a good candidate. After seeing my doc, I found out my sugar, cholesteral and liver enzymes alarmingly high. My doctor is general with a speciality in cardiothoracic health. I told him about the Ellipse 4 Month Balloon and he said it was a good idea to lose weight and retrain my eating and general lifestyle habits.

The balloom placement feels strang e(day 1 today) but not much pain. I took my meds as prescribed and followed guidelines religiously. The placement was easy..I was worried for nothing but had taken with Doctors approval a xanax 2 hours before balloon placement.

I will update the next weeks but as far as the all dreaded balloon placement, it was very, ery easy!
