Gastric Balloon Resources

[Wayward Traveler 135]

I don't know about you, but I tend to research things to death. The more I research gastric balloons, the more resources I find. In addition to the Orbera and Re-Shape websites, I have found information about what to eat and when, beneficial medications, clinical trial results (the side effects sections are particularly helpful), videos from people who got balloons, etc.. I thought I would share some of that info here in order to expedite the research process for others.

Please note that none of this info is from my doctor, and I am not endorsing any of it or vouching for its accuracy. I am just passing my research along in the hopes that it helps someone else process all of their options and/or helps them adjustment to the balloon.

Are you aware of other balloon resources out there? If so, please post them here ... I'd love to see them and I am sure that others would, too. Thank you!! :-)
