How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- 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.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Don't Waste Your Money
I tried Obalon more than 3 years ago now. It involved getting 3 balloons in your stomach for 6 months.
The premise makes sense: it fills your stomach, so you're satiated with less food.
Unfortunately it doesn't work as promised. What I did experience:
- About 4 episodes of excruciating stomach pain that lasted about an hour. These were not tied to eating, they kind of started as mild discomfort that got progressively worse.
- My hunger did not change whatsoever.
- The doctor said I was supposed to be dieting in order to lose the weight. Dieting with the balloons was literally no easier than dieting without them.
- The doctor did a good job of making me feel guilty for it not working. He totally sucked.
