Almost 5 weeks out I’ve lost 15 pounds . I want to drop at least 20 more I haven’t been eating as clean as I should but definitely small portions . I feel great every now and then I have a uncomfortable feeling of the balloon sitting too high I’ve found drink something really warm and laying on my left side helps

I feel queasy just staying in the bed I wanna get up and go but I feel I may get out and get a surprise of pain and vomiting. I threw up last night a little I had half a sugar free popsicle and 2 small sips of protein shake and it came up. More thank anything it’s just uncomfortable . I couldn’t get any sleep last night so I was very emotional but no pain yet I hope it doesn’t come . This morning I took maybe 4 tablespoons of some miso soup and a sip of water . The meds have been helping

So after much long research here on real self and other sites I decided to go with the Orbera ballon with dr Misra at Beverly Hills physicians. I was nervous the week leading up to it especially after reading so much stuff on the internet but I’d already made a decision. I started my liquid diet Saturday and Sunday and my procedure was done today which is Monday. I went in at 7:15am I was out of the office by 10am. It’s now 3:00pm and I just took a few sips of low sodium broth from a spoon (maybe 2-3 sips very small) and 1 very small sip of Gatorade and I feel something lol can’t say it’s pain or nausea. I’d like to say that if all the reviews I read I’m really trying to take it slow I was told I should be fine today u till later on tonight or in the morning then I may feel icky nauseous vomiting etc so I will keep you all posted . I’m excited I’m sitting propped up on my back I’m a little afraid to lay flat I feel then the acid reflux may start to bother me . I’m also very scared of when the effects will start . Dr misra is the best she’s so sweet and caring you can tell she loves what she does and gets joy out of seeing her patients happy I have her cell number I’m able to text her about anything and she texts me right back she’s definitely made this process easier pre op and post so far

Wow she’s amazing I’ve had liposuction and breast lift in the past and even when I thought the surgeons bedside manner was good it is incomparable to dr misra she’s truly a blessing. I’m so thankful I chose her I’ve text her pre op and post op (already . Lol it hasn’t even been 24 hours) she’s so on top of everything she responds right back or just calls me to give me a better understanding anybody considering any bariatric procedure should most definitely get a consultation and consider her . The office is okay and the staff are nice and sweet as well but she’s not to be compared.
