More About Gastric BalloonI was apart of the initial trial so the cost was cheaper than what it is now. I started at 195 lbs in November of 2017. I had no concept of what a healthy portion was, I ate whenever I wanted and what ever I wanted. After I had the balloon in, I wasn't really taking it seriously and it...
I have always struggled and yoyo'd with my weight, but in recent years due partly to depression and partly due to a bad traffic accident my weight had ballooned to an all time high of 94kg with a BMI of 33.3. I was 40yo (now 41) and I made some personal choices to deal with my depression...
My appointment is scheduled, flight booked (heading across the boarder to Mexico), and I have my mindset to go with my choice! Why the Spatz3? I think the same reason some go with the lapband. It is adjustable, and less permanent, while also being adjustable later. I wanted the 1 year outlook,...

I did the gastric balloon procedure at Results Md Plastic Surgery in South Florida. And what a DISORGANIZED PLACE! They have A LOT of cons: 1- When you schedule an appointment with them, you wait 1-2hours inside a room until SOMEONE gets to see you. The doctor is usually 3 hours later! 2- The...
I underwent a Bariatric Balloon procedure on 08/13/2025, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst medical experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I woke up, I felt horrible—severe stomach pain, nausea, shaking, and chills. Initially, I thought it was from the anesthesia, but once I got hom...
If I could give Clinichub 0 stars I would. DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICES! I had DETRIMENTAL complications as a result of the NEGLIGENCE of Clinichubs surgeon. I have tried on multiple occasions to contact Clinichub regarding this and they have completely ignored me as they refuse to take...
