Hi everyone I'm having my gastric balloon fitted on Friday 6th Dec, just wondering how you are all doing, and if there are any fellow ballooners joining me? x

It's been a bit of a rollercoaster I've stopped randomly being sick, however trying to move onto solids and the pain in my tummy is unbearable and then I start vomiting :-S is this perfectly normal? I'm having baby food for 7 month olds which is ok, but anything home made just ugh... Could anyone help me out with what meds they are one, mine are all in Czech and my gp can't decipher them xxx oh and merry Christmas!! Xx

Hey, so have had a look for you.
It looks like the itoprid is called Itopride here - it's used for dyspepsia (indigestion) that's mostly caused by your gut not moving enough so the drug causes your bowel to move more - let your GP know that it's a gut motility increasing drug...he can put you on something similar if you're experiencing indigestion.
The second one, ortanol, has omeprazole in it (it's just called Omeprazole here....Kinda like saying nurofen and ibuprofen...same thing Omeprazole is also used for reducing the amount of acid in your stomach which will help to soothe it... it's also used for indigestion. Your GP can just switch you to plain old omeprazole
Being a medical student comes in handy sometimes
