More About Gastric BalloonMy 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,...
Yesterday I put the ball SPRATZ instragastrico I explained to the doctor that this ball is different because it can be left up to a year and can be enlarged or made smaller according to ss need. The procedure was very fast I performed the Edgar Campos DR in Mexicali, Almater hospital came very...
I decided to pursue the bariatric balloon to help with loosing at least 20 lbs. I live a very active life a style but I did need a little help with my diet. I tend to eat out too often and the portions are big. Day 1- hours post procedure I had stomach discomfort and I did have emesis. Day 2-...
Thank you to everyone who took the time to document their experiences with gastric balloons. I just had my procedure two days ago, and I am completely fine. I was prepared to be sick as a dog right after- but thankfully it didn’t happen like that. I’ve read many others say they spent high hun...

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...
