Hi Gaggle
I had my balloon fitted 2.5 months ago and I have lost just over 2.5 stones. I have gone from a size 22 to a 16 top and 18 bottom in that time. For me the balloon was the best thing I have ever done. Where are you having yours fitted? I am under the national obesity clinic and they have been amazing. I weigh in once a week and have a counselling and dietitian session once a week too. They are also available at any time I need them - I even called them while on holiday last week!
Good luck and let me know how you get on.

Hi Twinladyuk
Wow !!! great news on the jeans bet you feel fab. Thanks for thinking of me.
Bit rough! 24hrs vomiting as you prob know all about. Today only sick once after some soup, but back to sucking my ice pops as they work wonders.
So hard isn't it to get to grips with it, get tummy ache if not eating enough but then get it with one spoon to many. Really is trial and error. Can't wait for the weight loss, i'm trying to give it a full week before I weigh in, but wow what an inspiration you are I bet you felt 10 feet taller buying that slimmer size

Glad that you are feeling better. The sickness and cramps do ease up and you learn by trial and error what is too much! I feel great and it helps that everyone is noticing and massaging my ego! My mates are also saying that I carry myself differently and even my 'walk' has increased confidence! I love the fact that for the 1st time in 20+ years I can go anywhere to buy my clothes and my jeans don't have to come from Evans and M&S!!
Keep me posted on your progress.

So pleased for you, know exactly what you mean. I don't go back to work until next Tuesday so i'm taking it easy and God each day I feel more and more human and more able to judge what I can eat and how little. Definitely trial and error.
You will have to give me your e-mail if thats ok
Know what you mean about the confidence walk thing, that is also my aim..he he.
I think for me becoming slimmer will mean a more confident a sexy person. Think my husband would agree to that but he loved me bless him regardless.
Keep in touch

Hiya
There isnt alot of threads regarding Intragastric Balloon that i have found, but having found this one i thought you maybe able to answer a question for me please.
I have read on different websites that the balloon can only be in your stomach for 6 months due to stomach acid,i was wondering if this is right or can it be left longer.
thanx
