- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

7 Days since the procedure.
It is 7 days since the procedure and all is well. No nausea, little cramping and still no vomiting. I have started the food program that was given to me by the centre. So far I have lost 5lbs. I am eating 3 meals a day, of course they are small meals. Today I had for lunch, grilled salmon, 2 tablespoons of grilled courgettes and 1 tablespoon rice. That filled me up. I always use the plate the centre provided me with, this ensures that my portions are right.
I have decided to start from training sessions at the gym on the 24th of November. I want to give myself a 4 weeks grace. I want the balloon to settle in further. I must admit, I have been very lucky, the balloon settled in from get on, which has made things a little easier for me. I am still burping away, however it is easing off.
I will keep you updated.

I have the gastric balloon procedure a few days...
I have the gastric balloon procedure a few days ago. It is going really well. I had little nausea, absolutely no throwing up at all. What I did suffer from, was cramped stomach, burping and lots of loose wind. Thankfully it is mellowing down.
Three days in, I have started normal food. I had baby fruit pot for breakfast, for lunch, chicken and salad and yoghurt for supper. It went well, no throwing up at all. However, I had a really small portion. I will keep you all updated about my progress.
I had the Spatz balloon procedure, which means the balloon will be in for 12 months. The centre calls me every day to ensure all is well.

Dr Premchand
Dr Premchand, was amazing. He explained the procedure to me and answered all my questions. The procedure was done within 20 minutes I was in the hospital for 90 minutes in total.
