I 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...
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 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...

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...
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 had a bad relationship with food and have struggled to lose weight. One day I decided to change my life by choosing to go with a gastric balloon. This was the first time I have used Elanic Clinic. I had my 6-month Orbea 365 balloon fitted 2nd February 2022. The first week was a bit of a battle...
