Hoping to Get to Pre Pregnancy Weight

For starters, I’m 36 and 5’7” and was always 150-165. After two kids, I haven’t been able to get past 183. My steady weight is around 200-205. Preballoon I was 214. I’m two days with the balloon. I thought I’d be able to have this procedure without anyone having to know but I ended up in the hospital because the vomiting, nausea and stomach pain were too unbearable. After discharge, I tried to resume the medication, which is difficult to keep down when you want to vomit it up all the time. If you can, try to get the medication down, it’ll help tremendously. I have a lot of trouble sleeping at night. No position seems to work right for me for too long. Some people are able to go back to work but I may give myself a week out. If I’m like this into a week or two, I may have it removed. I was 213 the day of the procedure, 2 days later I’m 207. I can only deduce that I’ve lost that much from being deathly ill.

Same thing happened to me
It was horrible I regretted it so bad ! Currently still have it and I have only lost about 5 pounds in 3 months
It was such a waste of money for me
Hope your experience is better

I regretted it too. Had to have it removed after a few weeks.
Waste of money for sure. I actually had an allergic reaction to it.

I thought the same thing that I would get it done be at work after a few days and be fine. Tomorrow will be three weeks and I’m actually having it removed!

I had mu orbera inserted 3 days ago. I have zero vomiting. No feeling nauseous and no acid reflux. I can lay down or sit up comfortably. The only feeling I have is a pressure, fullness in my tummy.
