  5. Hi, everyone well I am alive and kicking. The last balloon did it's job, but, they did the stomach too this time due to it small size. it worked I can eat my small amount of food. But, found out I can not eat eggs... So if anyone is having problems with solids get to your doctors. when I found out that it was the opening to the intestine was way too small. it could have been a big problem. so if the body says problem go to the doc.
